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. . . It's a book to be readily passed on to. . . all those with a taste for humour and imagination - to anyone who happens to be wondering what women on either side of European frontier might possibly have in common

Shafak has given us a storyteller's most poignant offering: a metaphorical amplifier for listening to the stories within ourselves
Ms. Magazine
An intimate, affecting memoir . . . Her passion for literature is contagious, and her struggle with postpartum depression and writer's block reinforces how carefully all of us must tread. Beautifully rendered, Shafak's Black Milk is an epic poem to women everywhere
