Truly superb
*Douglas Stuart*
A brilliant, near-future fairytale, LAND OF MILK AND HONEY is the
most sensuous novel about food I've ever read
*Emma Donoghue*
It’s a captivating story that is alien without being too
far-fetched. Zhang’s writing is laden with metaphors – particularly
around food and sex – and while this could risk being overwritten,
it fits the story perfectly. It’s a genius balance of page-turning
storytelling and lyrical prose
*Independent*
Sensual . . . This is a rich novel of ideas, insisting on moral
complexity in the end times. It’s also a startling prose hymn to
food and sex, love and violence, power and resistance
*Guardian*
Zhang constructs an unsettling, vertiginous world. Her ornate style
reflects the opulence her characters guard so closely, her command
of sensory language is impressive, and it’s hard not be mesmerised
by prose that is as rich and as startling as the food her
protagonist prepares
*Observer*
