Description
The Milkman in the Night is a complex and unsettling novel that blends bleakness with warmth. Semyon's life is turned upside down when he wakes up in his living room with blood on his shirt, an angry wife, and no memory of the previous night.
As Semyon tries to piece together what happened, he discovers that he has been meeting a mysterious woman at night, accompanied by a friend who seems to be watching him. Meanwhile, strange events are unfolding in Kyiv, including a sniffer-dog handler's discovery and a single mother providing breast milk for an unusual recipient.
This novel is a thought-provoking exploration of the human condition, delving into themes of identity, relationships, and the absurdities of everyday life. With its unique blend of darkness and warmth, The Milkman in the Night is a compelling read that will keep you engaged until the very end.
