After the birth of her first child in 2006, Turkish writer Elif Shafak suffered from postpartum depression that triggered a profound personal crisis. Infused with guilt, anxiety and bewilderment about whether she could ever be a good mother, Shafak stopped writing and lost her faith in words altogether.

In this elegantly written memoir, she retraces her journey from free-spirited, nomadic artist to dedicated but emotionally wrought mother. Identifying a constantly bickering harem of women who live inside of her – the cynical intellectual, the goal-oriented go-getter, the practical-rational, the spiritual, the maternal and the lustful – she craves harmony, or at least a unifying identity. As she intersperses her own experience with the lives of prominent authors such as Sylvia Plath, Virginia Woolf, Alice Walker, Ayn Rand and Zelda Fitzgerald, Shafak looks for a solution to the inherent conflict between artistic creation and responsible parenting.

With searing emotional honesty, Shafak has rendered an important work about literature, motherhood and spiritual wellbeing.

Eleştirmen yorumları

'Black Milk is a book to dip into, to lend around, a book that you feel deserves to be read by all women attempting to draw together so many differing aspirations.' (Le Magazine)
'Beautifully rendered, Shafak's Black Milk is an epic poem to women everywhere.' (Colleen Mondor, author of The Map of My Dead Pilots: The Dangerous Game of Flying in Alaska)

I love Shafak's writing style. I feel she has a marvellous understanding of the human condition. It is a long time since I had my babies but I could still identify with the emotions Shafak experienced during pregnancy and when her first child was born. Excellent writing and the narrator did a great job.

I could identify with this.
