Juice

"A hold-your-breath adventure set in an utterly plausible, sun-hammered future, Juice will stab your conscience and break your heart"
Emma Donoghue

"A blistering cli-fi epic"
The Guardian, Best Books of the Autumn

Survival is only the beginning.

Two fugitives, a man and a child, drive across a stony desert. As dawn breaks, they roll into an abandoned mine site. They’re exhausted, traumatized, desperate now, and this is a forsaken place, but as a refuge it’s the most promising they’ve seen. The child peers at the field of desolation. The man thinks to himself, this could work.

Problem is, they’re not alone . . .

So begins a searing, epic journey through a life where the challenge is not only to survive; it’s keeping your humanity if you do.

"Juice" is a stunning novel for fans of "Station Eleven" and "The Road", from twice Booker-shortlisted author Tim Winton.

Relazione

Juice is a masterful story for the ages . . . There is anger and revenge to reckon with but Winton carries the reader all the way along. Juice is a book to hold close in the whip of hot wind, to commiserate with, to sing with. To read and weep The Guardian Australia
