The Book Eaters

Sunyi Dean · 2022 · Novel

Setting: contemporary (hidden society)

Synopsis

***Truth is found between the stories we're fed and the stories we hunger for.*** Out on the Yorkshire Moors lives a secret line of people for whom books are food, and who retain all of a book's content after eating it. To them, spy novels are a peppery snack; romance novels are sweet and delicious. Eating a map can help them remember destinations, and children, when they misbehave, are forced to eat dry, musty pages from dictionaries. Devon is part of The Family, an old and reclusive clan of book eaters.
