Inbestmi. Hot milk. Levy D.

The young heroine Sofia, who replaced the profession of an anthropologist to work as a waitress, comes with a sick mother Rosa to the Spanish town. Between the fragile and not confident in his own future, Sofia and the power rose, conflict is planned: the rose refers to the daughter as a maid and is unhappy with her passivity and coldness. The personal drama of the daughter gradually develops into something more: Spain turns into a mythical shore, with jellyfish, mysterious healers, strange omen. “Hot Milk” is a miracle novel, poetic and iridescent.

The storyteller of this story, 25-year-old Sofia Papstergiadis, comes with his mother from England to a resort place in southern Spain, where Mother Sophie Rose should undergo diagnostics and treatment with local Doctor Gomesh. Sophie is the owner of an anthropology diploma, which has not completed graduate school due to mother's illness. The rose, either the great pretender, or the owner of a rare disease that causes limbs, headaches and other unpleasant sensations, requires constant care and very capricious in her requirements, and Sophie was forced to abandon the dissertation and begin to work as a waitress in a cafe. Naturally, such a change in a career-from an anthropologist to a nurse-causes tension between mother and daughter, although Sophie meekly performs the smallest whims of a rose (in order to distance herself from relations in the style of her daughter, Sophie stubbornly calls his mother only by name). To pay for expensive treatment, the rose had to reload the house. In Spain, the couple settles in a small house, where there are only barking dogs around, the sea is full of stinging jellyfish, and rescuers on the beach have a philosophical education. Sophie gives his mother water (most often the wrong one), rinses the patient in a wheelchair, does a massage and listens to various lamentations and complaints. In a private clinic, a slippery doctor Gomesh offers a rose of a number of methods for recovery, which seem to Sophie at least strange.
