Reviews for Juice
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
The Guardian
A hold-your-breath adventure set in ... Read morean utterly plausible, sun-hammered future, Juice will stab your conscience and break your heart
Emma Donoghue Winton delivers it all in clean and unaffected prose. The twists are plausible and devastating, including several ingeniously subverted sci-fi tropes. The love story and mother-son dynamic have emotional and psychological depth. At first, I’d anticipated something like Cormac McCarthy’s The Road, but Winton’s novel is stoic rather than nihilistic – a furious hymn to resilience, unsentimental and hard-won
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
The Saturday Paper
Full of surprises and stunning originality . . . Winton poses a tantalising and urgent question
ABC
A narrative force that feels almost cyclonic
The Australian
This is a thrilling ride across an all-too imaginable landscape and a terrible cautionary vision. Magnificent
Mail on Sunday
Utterly absorbing . . . It's a thrilling story of survival and adventure, 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, 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
Spectator
For fans of The Road, this is a chunky novel to immerse yourself in — an epic story of the struggle to survive
Evening Standard
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
Sydney Morning Herald
Moving and beautiful . . . In the wrecked world Winton imagines, perhaps it is finally only machines who can live with what we still call honour
Financial Times
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
New Scientist
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
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: 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 The prose is gorgeous, as you would expect from Winton, and a passion for our beautiful planet – alongside anger at what corporations are doing to it – burns red-hot throughout
