Overview
Dispensing with longing, love, betrayal, self-love, letting go, hurting, healing, feminism and acceptance, ‘Milk and honey’ is a book that every introvert, every heart would love to read. The book is adorned by Rupi’s sketches, most of which, complement the verses which makes it look unique and aesthetic. Her words include not just eroticism but a deep sense of esotericism as well. It flows from the longing, deep pain, searing loneliness and immersing love. Other issues portrayed here are consent, menstruation, body hair, skin colour etc.
The book is divided into four parts: The hurting, The loving, The breaking, The healing.
