Description

In this unnamed city, being interesting can be a deadly thing. For middle sister, trying to keep her mother from discovering her maybe-boyfriend and her own secrets is a constant struggle. But when the first brother-in-law catches wind of her struggles, the rumours start to spread and she becomes 'interesting'. The last thing she ever wanted to be. As the gossip swirls around her, middle sister finds herself caught in a web of silence and deliberate deafness. She's forced to confront the consequences of not speaking out, even when it feels like the only way to survive. This is a story about the power of inaction, and how it can have enormous repercussions. With its unique Liberty fabric cover, this edition of Milkman brings together two very different worlds: the past and the present. A bespoke design created specifically for Anna Burns, it's a fitting tribute to a novel that explores the complexities of human relationships and the secrets we keep.
