Black Milk: On Motherhood and Writing by Elif Shafak

inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

I don’t know from where to start!
This book was an amazing companion, I felt it talking to me. I didn’t feel bored at all while reading the book on the contrary, I was reading it slowly because I didn’t want it to finish quickly. I felt like Elif and I, were one. Sometimes she talks to me and sometimes I am her.
Elif introduced me to many smart, wonderful, and powerful women writers I wouldn’t have known them if I hadn’t read her book.
I don’t think I would ever enjoy a memoir as much as I enjoyed this one, the way how Elif takes you into her life and sways between life events and other writers’ life stories is an exceptionally, magical way of storytelling.

Funny thing while I was reading, Elif spoiled the book "The bluest eyes" and I felt so sorry for myself coz the book is on my TBR LOL.
