Black Milk: On the Conflicting Demands of Writing, Creativity, and Motherhood by Elif Shafak

medium-paced

3.5

Told in a magical realist style, this book talks about the struggles of elif shafak admitting his womanly side at first, and then, how becoming a mother changed the perception of herself as a mother and as a writer. It was engaging and there were many times I found myself nodding. But at the same time, the ideas and comparisons were a bit too much out there for me. Overall enjoyed it and I am glad I read it, but it is not my favourite shafak.
