Harry Hartog's review

I read this book the same week we broke the record for the hottest day on record, and it took everything in my power to not just break down and sob. Tim Winton has handed us our future, beautifully presented and ready to be consumed by the very people who have the power to change it - but won't. Our National Treasure has always had the power to cause an ache in my chest, but with this book he has taken it to a new level. It's there, everything we will fail to do, everything we have let happen and how we, WE, are the destroyers of our own lives. There has yet to be a book more powerful, urgent and tragic. This should be mandatory reading for every single person. This is our future, this is one man's last effort to get you to listen. But do you have the Juice to do what is right? - Lauren, Subscriptions



Description

An epic novel of determination, survival, and the limits of the human spirit. This is Tim Winton as you've never read him before.

'A masterful story for the ages . . . a book to hold close in the whip of hot wind, to commiserate with, to sing with. To read and weep.' TARA JUNE WINCH, THE GUARDIAN

'Juice, Winton has said, means "human resilience and moral courage", and there is that in spades in this complex, riveting book already being hailed as a masterpiece.' SYDNEY MORNING HERALD

'A hold-your-breath adventure set in an utterly plausible, sun-hammered future, JUICE will stab your conscience and break your heart.' EMMA DONOGHUE

'A searing but essential look at Earth after the human-induced apocalypse. Too real to be true. Too true to be real.' BOB BROWN

'Exciting . . . ambitious . . . Juice breaks new ground to face the climate emergency.' THE CONVERSATION

'Every machine-tooled sentence is its own reward . . . the sheer length of the novel becomes its greatest pleasure. Winton drives Juice towards its conclusion with a narrative force that feels almost cyclonic.' GEORDIE WILLIAMSON, THE AUSTRALIAN

'A must-read masterpiece from one of Australia's most celebrated writers.' STEPHEN ROMEI, SATURDAY PAPER

'Blistering . . . propulsive, addictive.' JOE RUBBO, READINGS

'Full of surprises and stunning originality.' SIMON SMART, ABC ONLINE

'Electrifying, sobering, grimly compelling . . . Juice is an act of hope, a belief in persuasion, in the power of stories.' JULIA BAIRD, ABC ONLINE

Two fugitives, a man and a child, drive all night across a stony desert. As dawn breaks, they roll into an abandoned mine site. From the vehicle they survey a forsaken place - middens of twisted iron, rusty wire, piles of sun-baked trash. They're exhausted, traumatised, desperate now. But as a refuge, this is the most promising place 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, propulsive journey through a life whose central challenge is not simply a matter of survival, but of how to maintain human decency as everyone around you falls ever further into barbarism.
