<p><b>'Riotously original ... A triumph' </b><i>NEW YORK TIMES</i><br><br><b>'</b><b>A journey unlike any you've read before</b><b>' </b>NANA KWAME ADJEI-BRENYAH<br><br><b>'</b><b>Her most profound book yet ... Surreal, hysterical and beguiling in every sense</b><b>' </b><i>GLAMOUR</i><br><br><b>The most profound book yet from the visionary author of <i>Milk Fed </i>and <i>The Pisces</i>, a darkly funny novel about grief that becomes a desert survival story.</b><br><br>A woman arrives alone at a Best Western seeking respite from an emptiness that plagues her. She has fled to the California high desert to escape a cloud of sorrow - for both her father in the ICU and a husband whose illness is worsening. What the motel provides, however, is not peace but a path, thanks to a receptionist who recommends a nearby hike.<br><br>Out on the sun-scorched trail, the woman encounters a towering cactus whose size and shape mean it should not exist in California. Yet the cactus is there, with a gash through its side that beckons like a familiar door. So she enters it. What awaits her inside this mystical succulent sets her on a journey at once desolate and rich, hilarious and poignant.<br><br>This is Melissa Broder at her most imaginative, most universal, and finest. This is <i>Death Valley</i>.<br><br><b>PRAISE FOR </b><i><b>THE PISCES</b></i><br><br>'Of all the books that I read this summer I think this was my absolute favourite. It really blew me away' <b>DOLLY ALDERTON</b><br>'Frank, provocative and brilliant' <b><i>INDEPENDENT</i></b><br>'Hilarious, poignant, sexy. A brilliant story about why we crave connection and how to find ourselves' <b><i>ELLE</i></b><br>'Laugh-out-loud funny'<i> <b>i</b></i></p>
