“Who’s your father? The milkman?”
In the 1970s and 1980s this was a popular taunt in playgrounds across Britain, but you don’t hear it so much nowadays. Why not?
In the days when men went to work and women stayed at home, where did women turn to get their extra-marital satisfaction? The milkman was about the only man women got to meet and he had a perfect excuse to pop round.
Meet Mal, a young, handsome, Tory voting milkman in a mining community in Wales. In this gossipy, close knit community his reputation as a capable lover quickly spreads and soon Thursday, the day he collects his money, becomes a long day of passion. But his Lothario lifestyle suddenly changes when Thatcher and Scargill launch their epic battle in the coal mining communities of Britain.

Picked up this gem and finished reading it in two afternoons. Good read. Bitter-sweet, but it did make me chuckle more than it made me weep. Nice little coming-of-age story set against the background of Britain -more particularly Wales- under Thatcher's reign in the eighties. Mal the milkman did to his female customers what Maggie was doing to the country, but the ladies liked this definitely more than the miners did.Keep on writing, Gareth, hope there are more of such stories to tell!

Maggie Milkman edition by Gareth Davies Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
A small Welsh mining town lives in the shadow of big changes that are going to be introduced by Maggie Thatcher. Wives run their homes while their macho husbands take them for granted and go to work everyday. Mal, a young handsome man, can be one of very few bright stars on the dark sky of everyday routine and tiredness with life. He, on the other hand, makes his journey of discovery of himself to suddenly find out that his views and ideas may ruin his well organized world...
The novel is full of humour, intelligence and wry observation of the life of Welsh miners and their families. You will find here all shades of human emotions and eroticism as well as refresh your knowledge of why Maggie Thatcher was loved by some and hated by others. I fell in love with the novel - once started just couldn't put it down.
A well written book which I enjoyed reading. It offers a good combination of humour and history. If you don't know much about Wales in general, like me, this will be the perfect introduction.
