There is <b>anger and revenge</b> to reckon with but Winton carries the reader all the way along. <i>Juice</i> is <b>a book to hold close in the whip of hot wind</b>, to commiserate with, to sing with. <b>To read and weep</b>
The Guardian Australia
A <b>hold-your-breath adventure</b> set in an utterly plausible, sun-hammered future, <i>Juice</i> will <b>stab your conscience</b> and <b>break your heart</b>
- Emma Donoghue, author of <i>Room</i>,
<b>Some of the most high-octane thriller writing I’ve come across</b> . . . Winton delivers it all in <b>clean and unaffected prose</b>. The twists are plausible and devastating, including several <b>ingeniously subverted sci-fi tropes</b>. The love story and mother-son dynamic have emotional and psychological depth . . . <b>a furious hymn to resilience, unsentimental and hard-won</b>
- Luke Kennard, <i>Daily Telegraph</i>,
Tim Winton is a <b>deeply humane writer</b>, concerned with moments of connection across divides, with<b> a deep care for nature and an impossibly hopeful desire for humanity to succeed, together</b>
- Nikesh Shukla, <i>The Guardian</i>, 'If you only read one book this year . . . make it this one!',
Like some <b>old-time saga, an oral epic</b> told forward into history
- Cynan Jones,
Winton’s new novel is no dream. It lies before us, a <b>must-read masterpiece</b> from one of Australia’s <b>most celebrated writers</b>
The Saturday Paper
<b>Full of surprises</b> and <b>stunning originality</b> . . . Winton poses a <b>tantalising and urgent </b>question
ABC
A narrative force that feels almost <b>cyclonic</b>
The Australian
This is a <b>thrilling</b> ride across an all-too imaginable landscape and a terrible cautionary vision. <b>Magnificent</b>
Mail on Sunday
<b>Utterly absorbing</b> . . . It's <b>a thrilling story of</b> <b>survival and adventure</b>, and a dark glimpse into our world's possible future
Irish Times
Winton powerfully captures the cumulative damage of combat and betrayal. . . Despite its raw grief and pain, <i>Juice</i> is not a nihilistic book. Instead, <b>it insists on the necessity of hope even in the face of insurmountable odds</b>, and on the notion that our survival depends on our capacity to care for one another
Spectator
For fans of <i>The Road</i>, this is a chunky novel to immerse yourself in — an epic story of the struggle to survive
Evening Standard
<i>Juice</i>, Winton has said, means “human resilience and moral courage”, and there is that in spades in this complex, riveting book <b>already being hailed as a masterpiece</b>
Sydney Morning Herald
<b>Moving and beautiful</b> . . . In the wrecked world Winton imagines, perhaps it is finally only machines who can live with what we still call honour
Financial Times
<b>A barnstorming, coruscating work of fiction, a heavyweight literary novel</b> that sits squarely in the growing canon of "climate fiction" and it feels to me to be an <b>instant classic</b> of that genre. I strongly recommend it
New Scientist
A <b>sweeping epic</b>, that’s <b>gripping </b>and <b>extraordinarily well written</b> . . . this is a labour of love for Winton that’s well and truly paid off
Daily Mirror
Winton can switch expertly from a thriller-like account of one of the Service’s assassinations to an account of how our man unexpectedly found love
The Times
Forget the speculative fictions of melancholic environmental warning: t<b>he novel of bloody eco reckoning is here </b>. . . <i>Juice</i> is in part a rare fictional study of revolutionary violence - its mentalities, possibilities and limitations
- Tom Seymour Evans, <i>TLS<i/>,
I absolutely loved it
- Mel Giedroyc, Front Row, BBC Radio 4,
The prose is<b> gorgeous</b>, as you would expect from Winton, and a <b>passion for our beautiful planet</b> – alongside anger at what corporations are doing to it – burns red-hot throughout
- <i>The Guardian</i>, Best Books of 2024,
Imagine 1,001 Nights narrated by Max Rockatansky
- <i>The Telegraph<i/> best fiction books of 2024,
This is <b>page-turning </b>stuff, gripping and awfully gratifying . . . Winton’s ending is a masterstroke, the heart-in-your-mouth final chapter<b> one of the best things I’ve read in a long time</b>.
The Guardian
One of The Guardian's best sci-fi books of the year.
An epic post-apocalyptic thriller, perfect for fans of Station Eleven and The Road, from twice Booker-shortlisted author Tim Winton.
'A hold-your-breath adventure . . . Juice will stab your conscience and break your heart’ - Emma Donoghue, author of Room
Survival is only the beginning.
Two fugitives, a man and a child, drive across a stony desert. As dawn breaks, they roll into an abandoned mine site. They’re exhausted, traumatized, desperate now. This is a forsaken place, but as a refuge it’s the most promising 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 journey through a life where the challenge is not only to survive; it’s keeping your humanity if you do.
'A blistering cli-fi epic' - The Guardian
