A high school girl states, ‘'Assured my guts
worked, you could lower me to the shade and watch, as I did, the blue
glimmer of my veins’. A woman, devastated that she’s
eaten half of a ‘burrito as big as her head,' purges until she’s
late for an appointment. A young man puns his way through disease.
The characters in Swallow are fascinatingly honest, deeply
human, and above all beautiful. The book is an intimate look at the
daily lives of eating disordered individuals, in and out of recovery.
Frightening, unorthodox, and not afraid to look the reader in the
eye, this writer bears readers through unexplored and challenging
territory with unexpected wit, tenderness, and respect for her characters.
