A rapturous novel about a young chef whose discovery of pleasure alters her life and, indirectly, the world
A smog has spread. Food crops are disappearing. A chef escapes her career in London to take a job at a decadent mountaintop colony seemingly free of the world's troubles. There, 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.
In this atmosphere of hidden wonders and 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.
Sensuous and surprising, joyous and bitingly sharp, told in alluring language, Land of Milk and Honey is a striking novel about food, sex and the intricacies of desire and longing.
Critic Reviews
'Land of Milk and Honey is a sharp, sensual piece of art. Zhang writes about the appetites of the body, the uneasy coexistence of scarcity and plenty, and the pleasure and debasement of what is surrendered to survive. This is an incredible exploration of whether it is possible to preserve one's art when answering to a master that is not yourself.' (Raven Leilani)
'Ferocious, sensual, and all consuming, Land of Milk and Honey is both a heartsick elegy for a world we are on the verge of losing and vibrant homage to pleasure and appetite. This book swallowed me whole and spit me out changed in the best way: buzzing, astonished, and alive.' (Rachel Khong)

Worst and most bizar book I ever read
We read this book for book club..I could not finish it. It is most bizar and worst book I ever tried to read/listen to. The story, the characters, unfortunately there was not anything I liked even a little bit. Except for the lady who selected the book, none of the other book club members finished the book either. The lady who did finish it also agreed it was the most bizar book and that after completing it none of it still made any sense.
