Black Milk by Elif Shafak PDF Download
The personal story of a famous Turkish writer about balancing the life of a writer with the life of his mother.
After the birth of her first child in 2006, Turkish writer Elif Shafak suffered from postpartum depression, which caused a deep personal crisis. Overwhelmed with guilt, anxiety, and wondering if she could ever be a good mother, Shafak stopped writing and lost faith in his words. In this elegantly written memoir, she traces her path from a freedom-loving, nomadic artist to a devotee of an emotionally forged mother. Identifying a constantly quarreling harem of the women who live within it, each with its own characteristics – cynical intellectual, purposeful aspiration, practical-rational, spiritual, motherly, and lustful – she longs for harmony or at least a unifying identity. While she intertwined her own experience with the lives of prominent authors such as Sylvia Platt, Virginia Woolf, Alice Walker,
With burning emotional honesty and in-depth study of cultural customs in patriarchal societies, Shafak has done important work for literature, motherhood, and spiritual well-being.
