Milk: On Motherhood and Madness by Alice Kinsella

5.0

Absolutely superb and so poignant. Her writing is visceral and real, and cuts deep to the core - And I say all of this not being a mother myself. Her ability to evoke motherhood within each of us is astounding. I met her and a few other authors in the book talk “Motherhood on the edge of madness: a look at motherhood in times of crisis” and was lucky enough to get a signed copy by her. I cherish this copy, however, I did loan it out to MY mother who is currently reading it and also finds it as emotionally provoking and beautiful as I did. It is acting as a bridge between us, like a shimmering thread that has reconnected us based on my mother’s mothering and my own reality in being mothered. Stunning.
