Delphine de Vigan’s Días sin hambre is more than a book about illness; it is a masterclass in psychological fiction and a triumphant testament to the human spirit's capacity for renewal.

The novel follows Laure, a 19-year-old girl hospitalised for severe anorexia, weighing a mere 36 kilograms. Through Laure's battle to reclaim her body and mind, de Vigan crafts a narrative that transcends the clinical diagnosis, offering a profound look into the psychology of control, disappearance, and survival. The Power of Semi-Autobiographical Authenticity

While No and Me brought her mainstream commercial success and Based on a True Story won prestigious literary prizes, Days Without Hunger holds a unique place in de Vigan's bibliography.
