A review by schuabi
I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman

dark emotional mysterious tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated

5.0

Unlike anything else I’ve ever read.
Reading the first few pages again after finishing, it is a feat of the author to have so explicitly stated the ending in the beginning and still leave the reader surprised (or maybe that was just me)
I read an edition with an afterword by Sophie Mackintosh and I really appreciated her insights as I processed my thoughts about the story.
