Synopsis "Skin Hunger"

Engaging and relevant, set during relatively recent history (Rowan's story line takes place in the mid-1980s while her mother Evie's covers several decades from the 1960s to the 1980s), Skin Hunger takes on issues of social justice, activism and mental health challenges as well as explorations of mother-daughter relationships and the essential nature of touch. The title Skin Hunger is a translation of hudsult, the Danish term for being starved for touch. In part, it reflects how the lack of nurturing in Rowan's childhood affects her. It also relates to an early spur for Rowan's animal liberation activism: reading about scientist Harry Harlow's experiments involving infant monkeys forced to choose between artificial "mothers" that provided either cloth-soft comfort without nourishment, or milk from an uninviting wire-frame body.
