Reviews'Lucille Cairns's monograph is set to become an indispensable read for anyone interested in contemporary French Studies, irrespective of field of specialization. Her multi- and interdisciplinary methodological approach (p.16) is second to none in its richness, precision, and meticulousness. The book manages the almost impossible feat of speaking to a variety of audiences: both the highly informed, such as the medical community or literary scholars, and novices who are not (yet) knowledgeable about the nosology and aetiology of eating disorders (ED).'
