About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

A rapturous novel about a young chef whose discovery of pleasure alters her life and, indirectly, the world

A smog has spread, food is disappearing, and a chef escapes her career in London to take a job at a decadent mountaintop colony: an experiment in a new way of living and eating. There, her mysterious employer and his visionary daughter have built a lush new life for the global elite, one that reawakens the chef to the pleasures of taste and touch. Before long, she is pushed to discover the real nature of the project: a startling attempt to reshape the world far beyond the place.

Land of Milk and Honey is a striking novel about food, sex and the intricacies of desire.

Don’t bother

The writing in this book is an example of the use of descriptions and metaphors gone too far. What should be simple depictions are tedious and create a never-ending monotony that weighs down the book. I'm not sure how the editor or publisher gave the book a stamp of approval unless they cared more about pretentious art than readers. I listened to the audiobook, but I understand the dialogue in the physical copy is in italics…. says it all. Is this the kind of work that wins awards these days?
