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

dark emotional hopeful reflective medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

my heart sank as i finished the last sentence— but my journey with this book, much like the protagonist’s, must end at some point. Harpman’s writing is plain and sharp; fluttering on a knife’s edge of calm introspection and desolate bleakness.
