Description
The Glutton by A. K. Blakemore is a historical fiction novel that tells the story of Tarare, a man with an extraordinary appetite. Born into a world of poverty and violence, Tarare's life takes a dramatic turn when he is cast out and left for dead. His ferocious appetite is ignited, and he becomes a marvel throughout the land. As Tarare navigates his new circumstances, he must confront the stories of his past and the rumors that surround him. With a slender physique and frail appearance, it's hard to believe that this man is the same individual who was once known as The Great Tarare, The Glutton of Lyon. Yet, his extraordinary abilities to eat make him a subject of fascination and fear. Set against the backdrop of 18th-century France, this novel explores themes of identity, community, and the power of stories. With its unique blend of historical detail and compelling narrative, The Glutton is a gripping tale that will keep you turning the pages.
