SHORTLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE 2016 SHORTLISTED FOR THE
GOLDSMITHS PRIZE 2016 Plunge into this hypnotic tale of female
sexuality and power - from the author of Swimming Home and The Man
Who Saw Everything 'Propulsive, uncanny, dreamlike. A feverish
coming-of-age novel' Daily Telegraph 'A triumph of storytelling'
Literary Review _________________________________ 'Today I dropped
my laptop on the concrete floor of a bar built on the beach. My
laptop has all my life in it and knows more about me than anyone
else. So what I am saying is that if it is broken, so am I . . .'
Two women arrive in a village on the Spanish coast. Rose is
suffering from a strange illness and the doctors are mystified. Her
daughter Sofia has brought her here to find a cure with the
infamous and controversial Dr Gomez - a man of questionable methods
and motives. Intoxicated by thick heat and the seductive people who
move through it, both women begin to see their lives clearly for
the first time in years. Through the opposing figures of mother and
daughter, Deborah Levy explores the strange and monstrous nature of
womanhood. Dreamlike and utterly compulsive, Hot Milk is a
delirious fairy tale of feminine potency, a story both modern and
timeless. _________________________________ 'Perfectly crafted. So
mesmerising that reading it is to be under a spell' Independent on
Sunday 'Hot Milk treads a sweaty, sun-drenched path into the
history books. A properly great novel' Romola Garai 'Hot Milk is an
extraordinary novel, beautifully rich, vividly atmospheric and
psychologically complex... Every man and woman should read it'
Bernardine Evaristo 'Hypnotic... This novel has a transfixing gaze
and a terrible sting that burns long after the final page is
turned' Observer 'Terrific, sizzling with heat and sexuality . . .
You devour it in one sitting' Radio Times
