Unsettling, challenging and gloriously written, Hot Milk by Deborah
Levy is the multi-generational story of a hallucinatory sort of
summer
*Juliet Nicolson, Evening Standard*
Leaves the reader enraptured and unnerved
*Jackie Annesley, Evening Standard*
Publisher's description. Shortlisted for the Man Booker and
Goldsmiths prizes, a hypnotic tale of female sexuality and power
under the scorching midday sun. Sofia and her mother arrive on the
Spanish coast looking for answers - what they find there will be
strange, seductive and fearsome beyond their wildest dreams.
*Penguin*
Vibrant...an intense, sun-drenched story. The prose veers dizzily
between the poetic and the convoluted, spreading a hallucinatory
patina of weirdness over everything. This is a writer for whom
ordinary language just will not do.
*The Times*
An extraordinary novel, beautifully rich, vividly atmospheric and
psychologically complex. Every woman should read it
*Bernardine Evaristo, author of MR LOVERMAN*
So mesmerising that reading it is to be under a spell...Sex
suffuses the novel, with pleasure frequently crossing into pain
*Independent on Sunday*
A smart, seductive and utterly beguiling read
*Mail on Sunday*
Elegant and deeply strange [and] hummingly funny throughout
*Spectator*
What makes the book so good is Ms. Levy's great imagination, the
poetry of her language [and] moving gracefully among pathos, danger
and humor
*New York Times*
