Juice

One of The Guardian's best sci-fi books of the year. An epic post-apocalyptic thriller, perfect for fans of Station Eleven and The Road, from twice Booker-shortlisted author Tim Winton. 'A hold-your-breath adventure . . . Juice will stab your conscience and break your heart' - Emma Donoghue, author of Room 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. 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 journey through a life where the challenge is not only to survive; it's keeping your humanity if you do.
