Norma by Vladimir Sorokin

The book is a surreal narrative that delves into the life of a woman with an extraordinary physiological trait—her breast milk possesses remarkable healing properties. As word of her unique ability spreads, she becomes a valuable commodity in a society that is both fascinated and obsessed with the potential of her gift. The story unfolds in a dystopian world where the protagonist must navigate the complexities of exploitation, power, and the human condition, all while grappling with the implications of her own body's capabilities and the relentless demands placed upon her by those seeking to harness her unusual power for their own purposes.
