About this book

Milk and honey is a bestselling collection of poetry by Rupi Kaur. It's divided into four "chapters" or parts: The Hurting, The Loving, The Breaking, The Healing. As you read it, you'll notice that every other poem in the book is accompanied by an illustration hand-drawn by the author.Most of the poems in the collection are written from the point of view of a woman who was sexually abused as a child and an adult. This abuse permanently alters the way she thinks of and relates to the world, affecting her relationship with her father (and with men in general).Each chapter of the book focuses on a different part of the speaker's life, following her from childhood (The Hurting) to her first good relationship (The Loving) and through her breakup and healing process.
