During the Dutch Hunger winter of 1945, Annika Meyers traded her family’s treasured painting of a feast for rations. Now, at 84, she has found it, and she wants Evan O'Neill, the diligent retired manager of a grocery store, to help her steal it back. But is it truly the painting she hungers for? Evan, who has something of his own to reclaim, is faced with a difficult but life-affirming choice.
