Hot Milk

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

A unique atmosphere, the dense dreamscape of echoes and repetitions ensure its peculiar lasting power

Sunday Times

Astute, poetic and wise, Hot Milk confirms Deborah Levy's reputation as a master of the contemporary psychological novel

Darian Leader, author of 'What Is Madness?'

A fizzing combination of the fantastical and the mundane

Guardian

Perfectly crafted, a dream-narrative so mesmerising that reading it is to be under a spell. Reaching the end is like finding a piece of glass on the beach, that can be held up and looked into and kept, in secret, to be looked at again and again.

Independent on Sunday

A smart, seductive and utterly beguiling read

Mail on Sunday

Hypnotic... this novel has a transfixing gaze and a terrible sting that burns long after the final page is turned
