Summary
'A hold-your-breath adventure set in an utterly plausible, sun-hammered future, Juice will stab your conscience and break your heart’ - Emma Donoghue
'A blistering cli-fi epic' - The Guardian, Best Books of the Autumn
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, epic journey through a life where the challenge is not only to survive; it’s keeping your humanity if you do.
Juice is a stunning novel for fans of Station Eleven and The Road, from twice Booker-shortlisted author Tim Winton.

Totally captivating
I normally listen to non fiction but heard this reviewed on R4 and they all loved it so gave it a go. A bleak but compelling story of a future earth gone through climate disaster that is totally believable and indeed predicted if we carry on. But it’s not preaching to the past, it’s a tale of survival in the inferno of an earth where climate heating has run away. It’s a story of suffering and attempt at dignity told in a grim situation. I could not stop listening but didn’t want it to end. The narrators voice is perfect, the story powerful, one of the best audio books I have had the pleasure and pain to experience.

Strangely compulsive listening but too long
I preferred The Road, to which this is similar (especially the ending).
The narration suffers by having several mispronunciations, (especially cache, pronounced throughout as caché.) Why don’t publishers monitor narration?
I enjoyed lots of the imagery and story but, to me, much of it seemed repetitive without moving the story on.
