But when first brother-in-law, who of course had sniffed it out, told his wife, her first sister, to tell her mother to come and have a talk with her, middle sister becomes 'interesting'.

Of course, of everybody of whom this particular hero was suspicious, he was most suspicious of femme fatale, of this woman he was in love with.

An uplifting, feel-good read about the power of friendship and community.

The happy ending is only the beginning... Kat has found her dream life, head chef at the Cafe Lompar and engaged to Milo. Her mother Grace loves part-owning the business, moving between Montenegro and Bath. But things soon gets rocky: wedding preparations bring out a traditional side to Milo that Kat''s never seen before, Neil wants more from Grace than a long-distance relationship, and a new British couple open a restaurant next door to the Cafe Lompar, seemingly determined to steal all Kat''s customers - and staff. Afraid of losing everything, spread too thin, both women do things they regret and have to decide what they really want. Will there be a wedding at all? Will the cafe survive?

Grace is clearing her late husband''s things, when she finds evidence her husband had another family. She and her daughter Kat travel to Montenegro to find them, but when they meet Rosa and her son Luka they have different reactions - Grace is deeply hurt by her husband''s betrayal, while Kat is fascinated by her brother. Kat works as a chef and Rosa owns Cafe Lompar, so they are drawn together by their shared passion for great food. Where does that leave Grace? Can mother and daughter navigate painful emotions, new opportunities and new loves, without tearing their relationship apart?

Winner of the Man Booker Prize"Everything about this novel rings true. . . . Original, funny, disarmingly oblique and unique."-The GuardianIn an unnamed city, middle sister stands out for the wrong reasons. She reads while walking, for one. And she has been taking French night classes downtown. So when a local paramilitary known as the milkman begins pursuing her, she suddenly becomes "interesting," the last thing she ever wanted to be. Despite middle sister's attempts to avoid him-and to keep her mother from finding out about her maybe-boyfriend-rumors spread and the threat of violence lingers. Milkman is a story of the way inaction can have enormous repercussions, in a time when the wrong flag, wrong religion, or even a sunset can be subversive. Told with ferocious energy and sly, wicked humor, Milkman establishes Anna Burns as one of the most consequential voices of our day.

The new novel from Anna Burns, critically acclaimed author of 'No Bones'.
