A review by jessicaandersen92
Milkman by Anna Burns

5.0

Wouldn't expect close minded men to like this book all that much. It's very much about the interior life of women, which some men may find boring. But I love how just when you thought the narrative was going to rely on some trope, Burns does the exact opposite and details the complexities of the character and gives them a great arc. The best example of this in the book is ma, who you think is just a vapid, gossiping, emotionless shrew...I won't spoil too much but she is much more than this.
