Hot Milk by Deborah Levy
Hot Milk by Deborah Levy was shortlisted for the Booker. I found Hot Milk compelling.
‘My love for my mother is like an axe. It cuts very deep.’ A quote by the protagonist in this enigmatic portrayal of a mother –daughter relationship, fraught with complexities that arise out of the inevitable foibles and frailties of being part of a family. It transported me to a whimsical landscape with its deceptively simple story that deals with guilt, love and obligation - layers that go deeper and deeper till you are submerged in Deborah Levy's surreal world and stung by its myriad jellyfish.
