I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman
adventurous

reflective
sad
slow-paced
4.0
This is a fascinating dystopian novel.
I especially loved the concept of how the narrator was like this blank canvas in a controlled environment during the first part of the book. Most of all, none of the questions I had about this book's universe were ever answered. This book will make you think of everything we've ever taken for granted and how pain, memories, happiness and everything else, fades in time. It's just amazing how humans, no matter where they are, will always want to leave a mark.
I was a ball of sadness and loneliness at the end. This was utterly sad and beautiful.
