Nuns move along the dark corridors of a Versailles hospital where the young Sister Perpetué has been tasked with sitting with the patient who must always be watched. The man, gaunt, with his sallow skin and distended belly, is dying: they say he ate a golden fork, and that it's killing him from the inside. But that's not all--he is rumored to have done monstrous things in his attempts to sate an insatiable appetite... an appetite they say tortures him still. Born in an impoverished village to a widowed young mother, Tarare was once overflowing with quiet affection: for the Baby Jesus and the many Saints, for his mother, for the plants and little creatures in the woods and fields around their house. He spends his days alone, observing the delicate charms of the countryside. But his world is not a gentle one--and soon, life as he knew it is violently upended. Tarare is pitched down a chaotic path through revolutionary France, left to the mercy of strangers, and increasingly, bottomlessly, ravenous.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Blakemore Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Fiction Blakemore Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Fiction Blakemore Checked out 05/18/2024 Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library Adult Fiction Blakemore Checked out 05/28/2024 Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Fiction Blakemore Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Fiction Blakemore Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Acquisitions --- On Order   On Order   Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library Adult New Books Blakemore Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Thelma Parker Memorial P/S Library Adult Fiction Blakemore Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Wailuku Public Library Adult Fiction Blakemore Checked out 05/07/2024 Add Copy to MyList
