Summary
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 a story of inaction with enormous consequences.

I tried reading this book in hardcover library copy and found it too daunting. I try audio versions when this happens and it was definitely the cure! The narrator is an Irish woman (the book is narrated by an Irish woman, too) and this made the language almost "sing." Don't get me wrong, one still has to persevere but the book is definitely worth it. It is very profound, offered a view from the inside of the troubles in Ireland during the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s, and at times it is laugh-out funny.
