We, Jane by Aimee Wall
4.0
This book was wonderful in such a subtle way, a book that stands out not because of how flashy or climactic it is but how well the story is told.
The writing style reminded me a lot of Small Game Hunting at the Local Coward Gun Club by Megan Gail Coles. Also an author from Newfoundland, they both have a way of bringing you into those small towns on the island and making you feel both homely and a bit suffocated by the intimacy of knowing everyone.
Following the story of Marthe and how she learns about and becomes involved with Jane, this novel is about wanting to be part of something bigger than yourself and wanting a purpose. The female characters involved with Jane are revolutionary in a way that isn’t famous or spectacular, but their impact on their community highlights the importance of women caring for women and the world of difference it makes.
Thank you Book Hug Press and ZG Stories for my gifted copy of this novel!
