HUNGER: A MEMOIR

Marian Del Vecchio's story is that of a young woman with a bright future and a secret eating disorder in the Freudian nineteen fifties. Her quest for treatment included, among many stops, a year's stay at McLean Hospital, where she made friends, found romance, starred in a musical written for her -- and didn't get better. When she did succeed in beating her bulimia and finding herself, it wasn't on a psychiatrist's couch.Del Vecchio has a sharp eye for the ironies of the era, which for women of her set was a time of "white gloves and low expectations." She brings her past to life with sympathy, insight, and wit that never fails her -- or her readers.Caroline Miller, former editor-in-chief, New York magazine
