'Riotously original ... A triumph' NEW YORK TIMES ' A journey unlike any you've read before ' NANA KWAME ADJEI-BRENYAH ' Her most profound book yet ... Surreal hysterical and beguiling in every sense ' GLAMOUR The most profound book yet from the visionary author of Milk Fed and The Pisces a darkly funny novel about grief that becomes a desert survival story. 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. 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. This is Melissa Broder at her most imaginative most universal and finest. This is Death Valley . PRAISE FOR THE PISCES 'Of all the books that I read this summer I think this was my absolute favourite. It really blew me away' DOLLY ALDERTON 'Frank provocative and brilliant' INDEPENDENT 'Hilarious poignant sexy. A brilliant story about why we crave connection and how to find ourselves' ELLE 'Laugh-out-loud funny' i
