This novel tracks the tragi-comic fortunes of the Lovett family of Belfast - the violent father; the shrewdly mad mother; malevolent Mick; and dreamy Amelia, our narrator, who records their antics over the years - fights, school, kickings, and the IRA and the RUC vying for Most Inept Police.

The second novel from Anna Burns, critically acclaimed author of the Man Booker winning novel, Milkman ’Brilliant … I can’t remember the last time I read prose so profound and so punchy’ Daily Telegraph An irate woman bursts into the best gun shop in the town of Tiptoe Floorboard, helps herself to a Kalashnikov rifle and sets off in a taxi on her mission of retribution. So begins this kaleidoscopic, surreal and enigmatic tale of dark deeds in a small town. At the centre of Anna Burns’s startling new novel lies the Doe clan, a closely knit family of criminals and victims whose internal conflicts and convoluted relationships propel this simultaneously funny and terrifying story. Bound together by love and loyalty, fear and secrets, the Does and other inhabitants of Tiptoe Floorboard make up an unforgettable cast of characters. In a voice that is by turns chilling and wickedly funny, the narrator documents their struggle to make and maintain connections with each other, and – weaving back and forth in time – examines what transpires when unspeakable realities, long pushed from consciousness, begin to break through. Anna Burns’s first novel ‘No Bones’ was shortlisted for the Orange Prize. This second work secures her reputation as a writer of mesmerising originality and rare talent.

But when first brother-in-law sniffs out her struggle, and rumours start to swell, middle sister becomes 'interesting'. The last thing she ever wanted to be. To be interesting is to be noticed and to be noticed is dangerous.Milkman is a tale of gossip and hearsay, silence and deliberate deafness.

Faber Stories, a landmark series of individual volumes, presents masters of the short story form at work in a range of genres and styles. 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. Even before he discovered she had a spell on her he was distrustful of her. He didn't want to be, but that's just how it goes. Written by Anna Burns before she completed her dazzling Man Booker-winning novel Milkman, 'Mostly Hero' is the hilarious, hell-raising descendant of Quentin Tarantino and the Brothers Grimm. Originally self-published online, it is available here in print for the first time.Bringing together past, present and future in our ninetieth year, Faber Stories is a celebratory compendium of collectable work.

Winner of the Man Booker Prize "Everything about this novel rings true. . . . Original, funny, disarmingly oblique and unique."--The Guardian In 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 darkly comic second novel from the author of the Man Booker Prize winner Milkman, now available in the United States In the small town of Tiptoe Floorboard, the Doe clan, a close-knit family of criminals and victims, has the run of the place. Yet there are signs that patriarch John Doe's reign may be coming to an end. When Jetty Doe breaks into a gun store and makes off with a Kalashnikov, the stage is set for a violent confrontation. But while Jetty is making her way across town in a taxi, an elusive, chatty narrator takes us on a wild journey, zooming in and out on various members of the Doe clan with long, digressive riffs that chase down the causes and repercussions of Jetty's act. Before Milkman took the world by storm after winning the Man Booker Prize, Anna Burns had already honed her distinctive voice. In her second novel, Little Constructions, she exhibits the same linguistic brio, coruscating wit, and scintillating insight into men, women, and the roots of violence. A wickedly funny novel that swoops and spirals as it examines the long shadow of abuse and violent crime, Little Constructions explores what transpires when unspeakable realities, long hidden from view, can no longer be denied.

Say No to Menopause Weight Gain

Say No to Menopause Weight Gain

By mid-life you will face menopause. Why, in some cultures is it a time to be celebrated, while in ours it heralds the end of so many good things? The end of your youth, the end of your beauty, the end of your joy. The beginning of the end. I propose that menopause is a time to transition to the very best in your life. To become the true you, the strong you, the fittest you. Don't let menopausal fat-gain hold you back. This is not an inevitability. You can be fit and fab in your fifties and beyond. I will show you how. I have worked for twenty five years as a personal weight-loss coach with mainly women of middle age. I have developed an accurate insight into what holds us back from believing that we can be as lean and fit in our fifties as we were in our thirties. Question the assumptions you make about this stage in life. Is becoming 'square' a natural evolution? Or can we retain a slim physique, with our curves still where they should be? Can we fearlessly lift heavier weights than we have ever done? Can we retain our sexy self-image? Yes, of course we can.

VINNER AV BOOKERPRISEN 2018. Hun er atten år og lever midt i en militær konflikt, i en verden av oss og dem, vår religion og deres religion, våre områder og deres områder. I bydelen hun bor i, drepes alle hundene i løpet av en natt, politi og sykehus er fienden, og alle har minst én bror eller en far som er død i konflikten. For romanens hovedperson blir det først virkelig farlig når den lokale paramilitære lederen - «melkemannen» - fatter interesse for henne. Han har makt, han tar det han vil ha, og i et samfunn der rykter blir til sannhet, har hun ingenting å stille opp med. «rått, vakkert, originalt, gripande og sterkt» MARTA NORHEIM, NRK TERNINGKAST 5 STAVANGER AFTENBLAD «denne romanen er en skikkelig lesefest» GERD ELIN STAVA SANDVE, DAGSAVISEN «Eksistensiell knyttneve fra Nord-Irland ... en original og usedvanlig innsiktsfull roman» ANNE MERETHE K.

Man Booker Prize, 2018”Den dag Somebody McSomebody satte en pistol mod mit bryst og kaldte mig en tøs og truede med at skyde mig, var samme dag som mælkemanden døde.” En roman om en ung kvinde der bare vil være i fred. Og om alle de mennesker der bor i kvarteret: de fromme kvinder, manden der ikke elskede nogen, pillepigen, atomdrengen -- og om det internationale par som vendte ryggen til børn og krig og tog ud i verden og dansede og således blev accepteret af både den ene side og den anden. I et samfund der er opdelt i os og dem, og hvor bomber er mere accepteret end bøger, går mellemsøster rundt med næsen i bøger fra før det tyvende århundrede, og hendes måske-kæreste samler på bildele. En ældre paramilitær mand ønsker at indlede et forhold til mellemsøster, og hendes egen svoger sætter et rygte i gang om at de allerede har et forhold. Samtidig begynder det at forlyde at en af måske-kærestes bildele er smykket med det forbudte flag fra den anden side af vandet. ”Imponerende … bekræfter Anna Burns’ position som en af vores opstigende litterære stjerner.” IRISH TIMES ”Fremragende … Original, sjov, afvæbnende skæv og enestående: anderledes. GUARDIAN ”Det er en kløgtig, fortræffelig redegørelse for Nordirlands sociale landskab, men Mælkemanden er så meget mere end det … [Den] er en kraftfuld og nødvendig bog med langt mere end en antydning af indestængt vrede.” IRISH INDEPENDENT ”Hvis Beckett havde skrevet et prosadigt om Troubles, ville det ligne denne roman meget.” DAILY MAIL The Orwell Prize for Political Fiction, 2019 Shortlistet til Rathbones Folio Prize, 2019 Shortlistet til Women’s Prize, 2019 Man Booker Prize, 2018 National Book Critics Circle, 2018

Nominerad till Kulturhuset Stadsteaterns internationella litteraturpris 2020.Hon är arton år och bor i en no-go-zon, hon rör sig gärna till fots. Här är det farligt att äga reservdelar till en Bentley, eftersom bilmärket kommer från ockupationsmakten. Han som kanske är hennes pojkvän flyttar runt delarna i sitt hem för att inte bli avslöjad. Och mannen som kallas för mjölkbudet verkar följa efter henne, med oklart uppsåt. Här råder en latent militär konflikt, i vilken alla på ett eller annat sätt är indragna. Rykten florerar, stadens hundar avlivas över en natt. Med stort siktdjup tecknar Anna Burns en ung flickas utsatta position i ett religiöst, traditionellt samhälle, där paranoian sedan länge ockuperar människornas kroppar. Anna Burns föddes 1962 i Belfast, Nordirland. Mjölkbudet, som belönades med Man Booker-priset 2018, National Book Critics Circle Award och flera andra utmärkelser, är den första av hennes böcker som översätts till svenska. »Det var mycket länge sedan jag läste en roman som gjorde mig så här förtjust, ja golvad! Burns förmåga att med full kontroll på stilmedlen loda djupen och lyfta gestaltningen till stor konst gör att jag nu vill läsa allt av henne. På originalspråk eller i översättning, det är helt upp till förläggare Nirstedt och översättare Peter Samuelsson.« Martin Lagerholm, Ystads Allehanda»... en universell historia som berättar hur människor agerar när våldet är en integrerad del av samhället.« Maria Schottenius, Dagens Nyheter
