We will read Hot Milk by Deborah Levy on Tuesday, October 9, 2018.
Sofia, a young
anthropologist, has spent much of her life trying to solve the mystery
of her mother's unexplainable illness. She's frustrated with Rose and
her constant complaints but utterly relieved to be called to abandon her
own disappointing fledgling adult life. She and Rose travel to the
searing, arid coast of southern Spain to see a famous consultant, Dr.
Gomez--their very last chance--in the hope that he might cure Rose's
unpredictable limb paralysis, but Dr. Gomez has strange methods that
seem to have little to do with physical medicine, and as the treatment
progresses, Rose's illness becomes increasingly baffling. Sofia's role
as detective--tracking Rose's symptoms in an attempt to find the secret
motivation for her pain--deepens as she discovers her own desires in
this transient desert community.--Goodreads
