Publisher's Summary

"I have been sleuthing my mother's symptoms for as long as I can remember. If I see myself as an unwilling detective with a desire for justice, is her illness an unsolved crime? If so, who is the villain and who is the victim?"

Sofia, a young anthropologist, has spent much of her life trying to solve the mystery of her mother's unexplainable illness. She is frustrated with Rose and her constant complaints, but utterly relieved to be called to abandon her own disappointing fledgling adult life.

She and her mother travel to the searing, arid coast of southern Spain to see a famous consultant - their very last chance - in the hope that he might cure her unpredictable limb paralysis. But Dr. Gomez has strange methods that seem to have little to do with physical medicine, and as the treatment progresses, Sofia's mother's illness becomes increasingly baffling. Sofia's role as detective - tracking her mother'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.

Great author and a great narrator…

I will listen to this book again soon, and tbh I was quite surprised seeing it in the 5 dollar sale. Second time seeing a (great) book in my Wish List go on sale AFTER I bought it LOL. After listening and reading this one first, I found Levy's 'The Man Who Knew Everything' similarly poetic, and profound if not quite as satisfying overall but these first two (new to me) titles have left me wanting more from this author. Huge fan of Romola Garai too …on screen and off. It's her narration credit that drew my attention to 'Hot Milk' in the first place, and I enjoyed it even more than I expected I might.
