Ten women are chosen.
Ten women to taste his food and protect him from poison.

Twenty-six-year-old Rosa has lost everything to this war. Her parents are dead. Her husband is fighting on the front line. Alone and scared, she faces the SS with nothing but the knowledge every bite might be her last.

Critic Reviews

‘A beautiful story that draws a line between the expressible and the inexpressible. A story with no options and no way out, just like for the protagonists of certain Greek tragedies’
—Valeria Parrella, Grazia

‘This book—which speaks of love, hunger, survival and remorse—will end up engraved on your heart’
—Marie Claire Italy
