Description
Elif Shafak's memoir, Black Milk, is a deeply personal and affecting account of her struggles with postpartum depression and her journey to rediscover her writing life.
After the birth of her first child in 2006, Shafak found herself unable to find the words she had always relied on as a writer. It was a devastating experience, but one that ultimately led her to chronicle her own experiences in an attempt to resuscitate her writing. The result is a beautifully written and deeply introspective memoir that explores the challenges of motherhood and the power of literature to heal and transform.
