July 2019: Milkman by Anna Burns

Not an easy read, but well worthwhile. What a brilliant narrative voice - and superb depiction of place and time (Northern Ireland in the 1970s) to explore the complexity of allegiance. Not to mention the way Burns captures the idea of oppressive, unwanted male attention. 

A great choice to round off the academic year for book club!
