- About the Book
-
A self-absorbed young musician comes as a pupil-boarder to the house of an ‘old European’ family and gradually his life is taken over and consumed. Milk and Honey is a haunting novel of gothic proportions that shows the skill and range which made Elizabeth Jolley one of Australia’s foremost writers.
‘One of the best [Australian writers] … her view of the world [was] grim, her style effortlessly comic and her characters battily original.’ — Elizabeth Ward, Washington Post
