Natasha's Book Club: Milk Fed By Melissa Broder

  • Lehrhaus 425 Washington Street Somerville, MA 02143 USA (map)

Milk Fed by Melissa Broder is a darkly hilarious, tender, and strikingly erotic story about food, sex, and G-d. Rachel, a lapsed Jew with mommy-issues and a self-made religion of calorie counting, finds herself suddenly and powerfully enraptured with the Orthodox Jewish woman that works at her favorite frozen yogurt shop who is intent on feeding her. Appetites, both physical and spiritual, the sacred and profane, and what it means to be fed are explored in this delicious read.

Come to class with favorite passages, shock, awe, horror, and delight. Expect a lively discussion to feed your hunger while indulging in an ice cream sundae bar!

Natasha Colman is one of Lehrhaus' first Front of House hires and has been a host here for almost as long as Lehrhaus has been open. When she is not seating you (or breaking the news gently that your table will not be ready for an hour), she can be found at a yoga class, making miniatures (check out her miniature Lehrhaus in the study), or at a cafe reading. She always has a book at the host stand, so feel free to ask her about her latest read while you're waiting for your table!
