Hot Milk - Deborah Levy
Hot Milk - Deborah Levy
A sun bleached, uneasy novel about mothers and daughters, illness and independence.
Sofia travels to the Spanish coast with her demanding, mysteriously unwell mother in search of treatment. The heat presses in. The sea shimmers. Everything feels slightly off-balance. As Sofia begins to pull at the edges of her own life the atmosphere grows taut and electric.
Levy's signature uncanny scenes are dotted throughout, she writes with precision and restraint. The sentences are sharp, spare, almost surgical. It’s a book about power and control, about the strange choreography between parent and child, and about what it costs to step out of someone else’s shadow.
