Set during the late 20th century in Northern Ireland, Milkman is the story of a teen girl who is harassed by society and harangued by her family and friends about her rumored illicit relationship with the ‘old enough to be her father’, dangerous, and married ‘Renouncer hero Milkman’.This book caught my attention after being nominated for and having won the Booker Prize in 2018. It took some warming up to. Anna Burns brings her unique style of writing. The entire book is written from the point of the protagonist - the ‘Middle Sister’. There are barely any names in the book with each character being addressed by their relationship to this ‘Middle-Sister’ or their roles in the society. I found this aspect quite unique (and easy for someone who has trouble remembering names :D). The story revolves around her, her family, her maybe relation with her maybe boyfriend, the society, the rumours about her supposed relationship with the Milkman, the people over-the-street, the people over-the-waters, the political unrest further worsened by the paramilitaries, the renouncers, and the state.Anna Burns goes to great lengths to set the context, giving pages and chapters on the political situation, the functioning of the society, its norms, its outcasts. What I liked about the book was the author’s description of how a seemingly innocent rumour upsets the life of a girl, who is happy in her small little world. This is very real and I am sure many readers would relate to the premise of the story.Milkman was no easy read. The sentences were painstakingly long, albeit eloquent and articulate; a ‘full stop’ almost as rare as the blue moon. My only grouse with the book is that I would have loved to read a little more about the antagonist and probably a little into his background. The timing and the manner of his ending was a little too abrupt and focus of the story shifted in the last 20% of the book.In a nutshell, if you decide to read the book, be patient. It picks up pace towards the end. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Labyrinth *by R***H on Reviewed in India on 9 November 2018* Though a highly rated and highly rewarded book it can fall flat as a good read. The story is woven very loosely and lacks specificity. It's arduous to go over the book and keep the interest alive.It is neither rich in content nor excels in skills. Wonder , the selection criteria of awarding a book with the highest literary honour . ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ amazing work *by S***H on Reviewed in India on 27 November 2018* quite like the story, plot , authors way of writing is most amazing --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/78066320-milkman-paperback-import-17-may-2018](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/78066320-milkman-paperback-import-17-may-2018) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
