Milkman

by Anna Burns
RM66.60 MYR
Milkman
Milkman

Riveting, darkly humorous journey through societal pressures.

If you've ever felt the weight of gossip or been caught in the crosshairs of unwanted attention, "Milkman" might resonate deeply with you. It's a book that masterfully explores the complexities of social navigation and the consequences of remaining silent in a world that demands your story. Anna Burns crafts a narrative that's both a compelling reflection on individuality and a sharp commentary on community dynamics.

Description

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.
