Description
Shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize 2016, Hot Milk is a hypnotic tale of female sexuality, power, and myth from the author of Swimming Home.
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.
