HTML:<b>NATIONAL BESTSELLER<br /> “One of the most pleasurable, inventive reads of the year… fiendishly, deliciously fun."—<i>San Francisco Chronicle</i><br /> <br /> “It’s rare to read anything that feels this unique.” –GABRIELLE ZEVIN, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow</i><br /> "<i>Land of Milk and Honey</i> is truly exceptional."–ROXANE GAY, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Bad Feminist</i><br /> <i>“</i>A sharp, sensual piece of art.”–RAVEN LEILANI, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Luster</i><br /> The award-winning author of <i>How Much of These Hills Is Gold</i> returns with a rapturous and revelatory novel about a young chef whose discovery of pleasure alters her life and, indirectly, the world<br /></b><br /> A smog has spread. Food crops are rapidly disappearing. A chef escapes her dying career in a dreary city to take a job at a decadent mountaintop colony seemingly free of the world’s troubles.<br /> There, the sky is clear again. Rare ingredients abound. Her enigmatic 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, touch, and her own body.<br /> In this atmosphere of hidden wonders and cool, seductive violence, the chef’s boundaries undergo a thrilling erosion. Soon she is pushed to the center of a startling attempt to reshape the world far beyond the plate.<br /> Sensuous and surprising, joyous and bitingly sharp, told in language as alluring as it is original, <i>Land of Milk and Honey</i> lays provocatively bare the ethics of seeking pleasure in a dying world. It is a daringly imaginative exploration of desire and deception, privilege and faith, and the roles we play to survive. Most of all, it is a love letter to food, to wild delight, and to the transformative power of a woman embracing her own appetite.
