“At the time, age eighteen, having been brought up in a hair-trigger society where the ground rules were – if no physically violent touch was being laid upon you, and no outright verbal insults were being levelled at you, and no taunting looks in the vicinity either, then nothing was happening, so how could you be under attack from something that wasn’t there? At eighteen I had no proper understanding of the ways that constituted encroachment.” Anna Burns, Milkman . ~book review~ Milkman is one of, if not THE most original and impressive novels I’ve ever read. Quite simply, I think it’s phenomenal, and I haven’t read anything quite like it. The novel is written in stream of consciousness, set in an unnamed city in an unspecified era, although there are enough clues for the reader to discern that Burns has set her novel in her native Belfast during The Troubles. By leaving that unsaid however, the novel gains a sense of both universality- it could be set in any close knit community in any war zone- and an almost dystopian edge. Milkman centres on the narrative of ‘Middle Sister’, whose perspective we are entirely reliant on. Burns does however create a host of compelling characters who are the fabric of the claustrophobic, watchful world Middle Sister was born into. Her deft and nuanced writing of these characters - particularly of Ma, for example - is superb. Going into this novel, I’d expected it to be heartbreaking, and political. And it is. It’s also darkly humorous (there’s a scene involving a cat which made me laugh and shudder simultaneously), and as much about finding your place in the world as it is about NI politics. Overall, this was a sublime, evocative and challenging novel which tackled issues such as women’s rights, violence, the pervasive influence of gossip, relationships, religion, tolerance, and what it means to belong. . ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 . . #bookstagram #bibliophile #bookreview #annaburns #milkman #bookcover #whattoread #bookrecommendation #northernirishliterature #manbookerprize #womensprize #faberandfaber #independentpublishing #sarahs89reads #sarahs89readsreviews

I am officially obsessed with Sally Rooney and have now run out of things to read by her. I'm sad. Also do you know how hard it is to take a picture like that without your hand hiding the title? That shit requires some serious arm strength. Who needs to go to the gym when you can just take book pictures? . . . #sallyrooney #theworstbookreview #normalpeople #faberbooks #faberandfaber #met_createchange #bookstagram #bookclubcollective #igbooks #instabooks #booklovers #bibliophile #igreads #contemporaryliterature

How’s your Saturday going? I’ve been working for most of the day but I’m off tomorrow. Happy happy times. . I started Milkman by Anna Burns earlier today - I’m buddy reading it with @readbynight - and am already highly impressed at the writing. I’d been warned that it was dense and took a while to get acclimatised to but so far I haven’t found that. Her writing style is certainly distinctive, with some of the sentence structure deliberately jarring, but I’m finding it flows beautifully. . Have you read Milkman, or Anna Burns other novel, No Bones? . . #bookstagram #bookphotography #bookcover #reading #readingnow #amreading #currentlyreading #annaburns #milkman #manbookerprize #bookerprize #womensprize #womensprizeforfiction #northernirishwriters #northernirishauthor #northernirishliterature #faberandfaber #guardianbooks #sarahs89reads

After happening upon MR. SALARY by Sally Rooney yesterday at the Anglo American Bookshop, I couldn’t resist - I’ve been carrying this one around with me all day, hoping to sneak in a few pages here and there when I find a moment. No such luck today, but it’s short so I’m hopeful I’ll actually be able to get to it while I’m here. • Tell me about your reading life! Are you finding yourself reading a lot? Are you in a bit of a slump?

Has March been a good reading month for you so far? It really has for me! I’ve read 12 books so far and I’m hoping to finish at least one more. I’m super happy about it since I know that I very soon need to start focusing on my studies, and then I won’t have the time to read as much as I’ve done this month. . I’m so in love with these cute editions from Faber & Faber! I love to read short stories, especially right after I’ve finished a book, so I’m definitely going to collect more of these.
