Malcolm Hale has spent years becoming useful enough to deserve love.
He provides, protects, schedules, repairs, and stays quiet. But inside a marriage reduced to calendars, fertility treatments, and careful negotiations, Malcolm is disappearing. His wife, Vivian, believes affection should be enough. Malcolm cannot stop mourning the desire—and the version of himself—that their life together has buried.
When an old connection returns and a private confession finds an unexpected audience, the truths Malcolm has hidden begin to threaten everything he has tried to preserve: his marriage, his family, and the respectable life built around his silence.
The Terms of Hunger is an intimate literary novel about marital loneliness, betrayal, parenthood, and the dangerous bargains people make before anyone admits that love has changed. It asks what partners owe each other when desire vanishes—and whether honesty can arrive too late to become mercy.
