About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
Her life is so full, so why is she hungry?
For Piglet – an unshakable childhood nickname – getting married is her opportunity to reinvent. Together, Kit and Piglet are the picture of domestic bliss – effortless hosts, planning a covetable wedding ... But if a life looks too good to be true, it probably is.
Thirteen days before they are due to be married, Kit reveals an awful truth, cracking the façade Piglet has created. It has the power to strip her of the life she has so carefully built, so smugly shared. To do something about it would be to self-destruct. But what will it cost her to do nothing?
As the hours count down to their ‘big day’, Piglet is torn between a growing appetite and the desire to follow the recipe, follow the rules. Surely, with her husband, she could be herself again. Wouldn’t it be a waste for everything to curdle now?
Piglet is the searing, unforgettable and original debut which is set to take listeners by storm in 2024.

‘It takes audacity, all kinds of courage to produce a novel as ferocious and weird as Piglet. The narrative accelerates like nothing else I've read, opening onto dead-end domestic conformity and then driving us all the way out into the wildernesses, where the possibility for liberation, the fulfilment of desires might be discovered. It made me so hungry’ Lamorna Ash, author of Dark, Salt, Clear
‘A high-wire exploration of control, pleasure and desire’ Chloë Ashby
‘A book that tears at the surface of things to reveal the vast, messy truth of a body with a beating heart’ Catherine Newman

Beautifully written
The descriptions through this book are beautifully written, rich in detail and ring true. I devoured this book.

Very British
it seemed vague and dreary, the unraveling of a life that was held together by self will run riot. the circled approach to eating disorders and segregation of social classes seemed underwhelming and droll.

Stunning
I didn't expect this novel to be so moving. The character of Piglet is so excruciatingly realised. The narration is versatile and always appropriate to the cadences of the plot. This is a horrible and fulfilling story.

Beautiful writing
I saw another comment about the writer not revealing what the husband did.
With respect, I think the reviewer has missed the subtlety of the book which is that it’s not meant to be a big mystery with a big reveal. It’s obvious what he did. This story is not about that. It’s about Piglet’s response to it.
This could have been a fluffy, lightweight book in the hands of a less talented writer but it is just so well written and kept me engaged the whole time.
I can’t wait to read more books by this author.

Disappointing ending
All the way along there is a mystery of something that her husband to be has done. It never gets revealed! I kept waiting for it and it left me hanging. Annoyed I hung in there for as long as I did

It was okay
A short book, mildly entertaining, still left wondering what happened. It wasn’t bad or good, but it was different to anything else I’ve listened to.

frustrating book
doesn't go anywhere and you never find out what he did. The narrator is really good though.

A page turner
Loved it. An amazing roller coaster of emotions while reading. Raw and unrelenting. It’s a thumbs up from me. Can’t wait to see what Piglet does next.

Nice to have a narrator not distracting from the story
It was such a relief and joy to finally listen to an audiobook without a narrator trying to do different voices for the various characters. Low key entertaining story line. Well done.
