Milkman by Anna Burns - Man Booker Prize Winner 2018 - Paperback Literary Fiction - Faber & Faber

Milkman is Anna Burns' extraordinary novel of gossip, surveillance, and survival in an unnamed city gripped by suspicion. Told through the distinctive, darkly funny voice of an eighteen-year-old woman, it explores how rumour becomes inescapable reality once a dangerous older man known only as 'the milkman' begins to take an interest in her. Set during an unspecified conflict in an unnamed city, evoking Belfast during the Troubles, the book follows a young woman who becomes the object of unwanted attention from a much older, powerful paramilitary figure. As whispers spread through her tightly wound community, she finds herself struggling to survive and maintain her identity. This is a modern classic of literary fiction for readers who love challenging, voice-driven storytelling.
