By Burns, Anna2018., Adult, Graywolf Press Connect to this eBook title Summary Note: In an unnamed city, middle sister stands out for the wrong reasons. She reads while walking, for one. And she has been taking French night classes downtown. So when a local paramilitary known as the milkman begins pursuing her, she suddenly becomes "interesting," the last thing she ever wanted to be. Despite middle sister's attempts to avoid him—and to keep her mother from finding out about her maybe-boyfriend—rumours spread and the threat of violence lingers.

Told with ferocious energy and sly, wicked humour, Milkman establishes Anna Burns as one of the most consequential voices of our day.
