By Deborah Levy

Service95 Recommends is the home of the books we love and reviews from our contributors. Hot Milk by Deborah Levy questions the value of experimenting with life.

What We Say: “Under the golden Spanish sun, Sofia and her mother arrive in a quiet coastal village, searching for answers. Her mother suffers from a mysterious illness that defies conventional medicine while Sofia tries to untangle the truth. It’s a hypnotic, sun-drenched story of self-discovery, desire, and the complicated bonds between a mother and daughter.” – Maria Padget

What They Say:Hot Milk is an extraordinary novel, beautifully rich, vividly atmospheric and psychologically complex [...] Every man and woman should read it” – Bernardine Evaristo

Available on Bookshop.org, Waterstones, and Barnes & Noble
