En esta ciudad anónima, ser interesante es peligroso. La hermana mediana, nuestra protagonista, se empeña en evitar que su madre descubra a su posible novio y en no dar explicaciones sobre su encuentro con el lechero. Pero en cuanto el primer cuñado descubre su situación y hace correr el rumor, la hermana mediana se vuelve «interesante». Lo último que ella quiere. Porque ser interesante implica que te presten atención y eso es peligroso.
"Milkman" es una historia de rumores y habladurías, de silencio y sordera intencionada en la época álgida del conflicto de Irlanda del Norte. Es la historia de una inacción con grandísimas consecuencias.
