Always let the meat rest under foil for at least ten minutes before carving...
In the shape of Lizzie Prain, Natalie Young has created one of the most remarkable heroines in recent fiction..
Will Lizzie have the strength to follow it through? Dark, funny and achingly human, Season to Taste is a deliciously subversive treat.
Her method appeals to all her practical instincts, though it\'s not for the faint-hearted.
And if she\'s going to embark on the new life she feels she deserves after thirty years in Jacob\'s shadow, she needs to dispose of his body.
That\'s because last Monday, on impulse, Lizzie caved in the back of his head with a spade.
No one has seen Lizzie\'s husband, Jacob, for a few days.
Runs a little business making cakes.
Likes cooking, avoids the neighbours.
Lives in a cottage in the woods, with her dog Rita.
Fifty-something.
Ordinary housewife.
Meet Lizzie Prain.
