If you feed a starving woman, what will she grow into?
Twenty-nine year old Roberta has spent her whole life hungry. So she invents Supper Club: a secret society for women sick of bad men and bad sex. Fed up of being told to talk less, take less, be less, they gather after dark to feast and dance through the night. But as their bodies expand, so do their horizons, their desires - and their urge to break the rules.
You look hungry. Join the club.

Sophisticated, attentive, visceral, sensual.... Following in the footsteps of Elena Ferrante and Sally Rooney, Williams explores the shifting dynamics of female friendships
Exquisite. Wise and generous,subtle and superbly attentive...The food in this book eats you, imparting a depth of flavour that resurfaces stylishly when you least expect it
Cool and knowing, jam-packed with cultural references, not to mention mouthwatering recipes...Kicks back against the degradations and appetite-shaming strictures of a notionally feminist age
Supper Clubis SO GREAT. Utterly perfect on loneliness, isolation, friendship, love, appetite, body image. It's about millennial women but I'm reading and nodding: 'Whole Mood'
Powerful and original, insightful and moving...The voice feels akin to Sally Rooney's: colloquial, precise, at once uneasy about its place in the world and determined to stand up for itself... Williams suggests convincingly that cooking is as rigorous and complex as any art form
LikeFight Clubbut with food... About rebellion and power and all the desires women have suppressed for so, so long
Supper Clubwill speak to parts of you that you didn't know were yearning. A thought-provoking read that will make you hungry for more
A smart, zeitgeisty, genuinely affecting coming-of-age-tale... Lara Williams is very much a talent in her own right
For reading while eating in the bath and licking your lips...There's no other book to read this month
Totally invigorating... With elements of Stephanie Danler'sSweetbitter, Ottessa Moshfegh'sMy Year of Rest and Relaxationand Phoebe Waller Bridge'sFleabag,Supper Clubis a succulent, unapologetic celebration of female friendship, female rage, and female appetite
[A] delicious first novel... Williams writes with warmth, wit, and wisdom, serving up distinctive characters and a delectably unusual story.Supper Clubwill satisfy your craving for terrific writing and leave you hungry for more from this talented writer
A darkly funny coming-of-age story like no other...Supper Clubis the ravenous read we all need
A bacchanalian debut novel (that) will leaving you panting and ravenous
Extremely well done... Williams's enthusiasm for good food is attractive, and she writes with a pleasingly fluent style
Darkly delicious...A celebration of female power and friendship with wonderful food writing
Engrossing, humorous and candid, this exploration of a woman on the verge of finding herself makes for an enthralling novel
An homage to female rage and the bonds of friendship,Supper Clubwill entice readers like a gourmet feast and leave them just as satisfied
Williams explores the complex relationship many women have with their deepest desires
A bacchanalian homage to women's rage and female friendship
You'll want to feast on this book
A love letter to those friends, both retained and lost, who have an irrevocable influence on who we are and how we understand ourselves. It's a powerful interrogation of the current status of women within western societies. But it is also a provocation to demand more, a challenge to hold each other to account, and an enticement to celebrate the vibrancy of women's lives with the raucous abandon they deserve. It's the counter fairy tale: biting the apple brought wisdom and confidence, not a loss of consciousness. No prince necessary
Rebellious and subversive... Williams excels at visceral descriptions of bodies and food alike
A bold and fresh storyabout food, friendship and feminism...compelling reading.
Bold, wild and witty
A small utopia celebrating the intoxications of female friendship and standing as a private bulwark against patriarchy
