A stomach-turning and terrific novel…a brilliant and literal dissection of a marriage - The Times
Engrossingly depicts not only bodily appetite but the deepest emotional hunger pangs of being human…compulsively readable - ObserverDaring, groundbreaking and original - Irish IndependentOne of the most talked-about books of the year…filled with black humour - Daily MailStomach-churning and terrific - The TimesAn enjoyable feast of anger - witty and poised‘Season to Taste is written in a laconic, pared-down style that immediately brings to mind Camus’ L’Etranger. If that seems a somewhat grand comparison, it is not, for Young’s book is one of those rare beasts - a literary novel of ideas written in simple language that could be both a university set text and a supermarket bestseller’Set to be one of the most talked about - and most gruesome - books of 2014 - The Sunday TimesNatalie Young
