Working at the local processing plant, Marcos is in the business of slaughtering humans--though no one calls them that anymore.

His wife has left him, his father is sinking into dementia, and Marcos tries not to think too hard about how he makes a living. After all, it happened so quickly. First, it was reported that an infectious virus has made all animal meat poisonous to humans. Then governments initiated the "Transition." Now, eating human meat--"special meat"--is legal. Marcos tries to stick to numbers, consignments, processing.

Then one day he's given a gift: a live specimen of the finest quality. Though he's aware that any form of personal contact is forbidden on pain of death, little by little he starts to treat her like a human being. And soon, he becomes tortured by what has been lost--and what might still be saved.

One of the best books ever...

I loved this book. It is one of the best books I ever read. Even a flight stewardess saw me reading it and said she heard about this book and had to get it.

A scary look at the future!

I think to say this book is really good is probably not the right words but it makes you realize that this is exactly how we treat animals and yet we are horrified by the story! Could this be the future, very possible I think.

Disturbingly good

I know some people don’t like it, but I was enthralled while reading this. It had me hooked. It’s disturbing & stays that way until the bitter end.

Don’t let the title fool you. It’s not a sexy book.

This story. Wow. I read it several months ago and am still thinking about it. What is food? What is meat? What is it that makes us human. Just. Wow. So intense. So well written and translated.

Read this book

Let me tell you something. This book is soooooo good. The concept is amazing. The ending will have you thinking. It relates to reality. And written by a POC. Give it a try and you’ll love it
