About this listen
One of The Guardian's best sci-fi books of the year.
An edge-of-your-seat, post-apocalyptic thriller. Perfect for fans of The Last of Us, Station Eleven and The Road, from twice Booker-shortlisted author Tim Winton.
'Will stab your conscience and break your heart’ – Emma Donoghue
'A blistering cli-fi epic' – The Guardian
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, and 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.
Critic Reviews
Juice is a masterful story for the ages . . . There is anger and revenge to reckon with but Winton carries the reader all the way along. Juice is a book to hold close in the whip of hot wind, to commiserate with, to sing with. To read and weep
A hold-your-breath adventure set in an utterly plausible, sun-hammered future, Juice will stab your conscience and break your heart (Emma Donoghue)
Some of the most high-octane thriller writing I’ve come across (Luke Kennard, Daily Telegraph)
Like some old-time saga, an oral epic told forward into history (Cynan Jones)
Winton’s new novel is no dream. It lies before us, a must-read masterpiece from one of Australia’s most celebrated writers
Full of surprises and stunning originality . . . Winton poses a tantalising and urgent question
A narrative force that feels almost cyclonic
This is a thrilling ride across an all-too imaginable landscape and a terrible cautionary vision. Magnificent
Utterly absorbing . . . It's a thrilling story of survival and adventure, and a dark glimpse into our world's possible future
Winton powerfully captures the cumulative damage of combat and betrayal. . . Despite its raw grief and pain, Juice is not a nihilistic book. Instead, it insists on the necessity of hope even in the face of insurmountable odds, and on the notion that our survival depends on our capacity to care for one another
For fans of The Road, this is a chunky novel to immerse yourself in — an epic story of the struggle to survive
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
Moving and beautiful . . . In the wrecked world Winton imagines, perhaps it is finally only machines who can live with what we still call honour
A barnstorming, coruscating work of fiction, a heavyweight literary novel that sits squarely in the growing canon of "climate fiction" and it feels to me to be an instant classic of that genre. I strongly recommend it
A sweeping epic, that’s gripping and extraordinarily well written . . . this is a labour of love for Winton that’s well and truly paid off
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
Forget the speculative fictions of melancholic environmental warning: the novel of bloody eco reckoning is here . . . Juice is in part a rare fictional study of revolutionary violence - its mentalities, possibilities and limitations (Tom Seymour Evans, TLS)
I absolutely loved it (Mel Giedroyc, Front Row, BBC Radio 4)
