Items related to Midnight Feast
Midnight Feast, winner of a Betty Trask Award, is the dark and funny story of love in a convent boarding school. When sixteen-year-old Grace arrives at Mayo, she immediately falls for the mercurial and glamorously thin Colette MacSweeney. She soon finds herself descending with Colette into life-threatening anorexia, entangled in the dysfunction that seethes below the surface of Colette’s family. This is a new and revised edition.
‘A story of charismatic starvation (rather like an anorexic Madchen in Uniform), Evans’s prose shimmers somewhere between strange and changeable between peculiarly heightened realism and sheer fever.’ – Ali Smith, Times Literary Supplement.
‘She’ll give the Dublin Boys a good run for their money one day.’ – Amanda Craig, Literary Review
‘Superb.’ – Kate Figes, The Independent on Sunday
‘A nightmarish tale of two convent girls’ descent into life-threatening bulimia...communicates the irrationality of childhood fears and passions as well as the incomprehensible affliction of eating disorders. – The Irish Times
