Juice

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 weepThe Guardian Australia

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

Some of the most high-octane thriller writing I’ve come across . . . Winton delivers it all in clean and unaffected prose. The twists are plausible and devastating, including several ingeniously subverted sci-fi tropes. The love story and mother-son dynamic have emotional and psychological depth. At first, I’d anticipated something like Cormac McCarthy’s The Road, but Winton’s novel is stoic rather than nihilistic – a furious hymn to resilience, unsentimental and hard-wonLuke Kennard, Daily Telegraph
