In this unnamed city, to be interesting is dangerous. Middle sister, our protagonist, is busy attempting to keep her mother from discovering her maybe-boyfriend and to keep everyone in the dark about her encounter with Milkman.
But when first brother-in-law sniffs out her struggle, and rumours start to swell, middle sister becomes 'interesting'. The last thing she ever wanted to be. To be interesting is to be noticed and to be noticed is dangerous.
Milkman is a tale of gossip and hearsay, silence and deliberate deafness. It is the story of inaction with enormous consequences.

I love the way these words are put together. I want to listen again now. I miss these people. The narrator is amazing.

Such a unique ,humorous, well written book. Anna Burns has build on her previous novels’ subject of The Troubles to create this masterpiece. Brid Brennan’s Irish lilt and delivery suits the book’s pace and narrator.
