To be interesting is to be noticed and to be noticed is dangerous . . .

Set in Belfast at the height of the 'Troubles' in the late 1970s (although not explicitly stated), Milkman follows an eighteen-year-old girl who is trying to steer a path through a minefield of gossip and political intrigue. 

A tale of gossip and hearsay, silence and deliberate deafness, Milkman is the story of inaction with enormous consequences.

“Brutally intelligent, Milkman is a wildly good novel of how living in fear limits people.” -- NPR.org
