The sun and her flowers is a book of poems by Rupi Kaur, an exciting and deeply feminine and feminist work. The book is structured in five parts: wilting, falling, rooting, growing and flowering, playing with the idea of rebirth after the fall. It begins by exploring trauma, rape, heartbreak, loneliness and continues with the process of overcoming and learning that lead you to flourish in all fullness. With simplicity and great sensitivity, the author speaks of self-esteem as opposed to self-hatred, of the impossible search for physical beauty when one is self-conscious, of the growth that implies realizing that your home is yourself, a song to self-acceptance in the face of imposed and self-imposed beauty canons. She also reflects on origins and motherhood. She is a Canadian daughter of Indian immigrants, and makes a precious reflection and a deep assessment of what it means to be an immigrant mother, the weight of ancestral culture and unconditional maternal love. A feminist vindication of women in all their facets.
