'Perfectly crafted. So mesmerising that reading it is to be under a spell' - Independent on Sunday * 'Hot Milk treads a sweaty, sun-drenched path into the history books.

Every man and woman should read it' - Bernardine Evaristo * 'The contemporary writer I admire most' - Linda Grant * 'Hypnotic... This novel has a transfixing gaze and a terrible sting that burns long after the final page is turned' - Observer * 'Gorgeous.
