Milkman


In March, we read Milkman by Anna Burns.

We think Ed finished reading the novel.  And he sent a message that he loved it.  We know Tim and Alan read the entirety and that he was glad he did because of how unique and memorable the message was.  Chrysanne, Mindy, and I did not finish, mostly because of time constraints, but also because it was difficulty to hang in there.  The novel is written in a very uniques style with many universal truths that the reader can relate to around family relationships, interpersonal relationships, small community dynamics and being a minority.  The writing was beautiful.  Tough to hang in there on the very long eloquent sentences. We were, overall, glad we read what we did.

We will meet at Mindy's and Chrysanne will host on May 1st to discuss our next novel: Where the Crowdad's Sing by Delia Owens.
