I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman
3.0
i have So many questions that will never be answered - i kind of love that the author leaves you in the same position as the main character in that regard.
but also like. could i please have had a little more? about 50% of the way through i realised that i wasnt going to get any more information which kinda made me check out a little, but again i suppose that’s the point.
it definitely felt a bit weird that a book speculating on a world without men, and what being a women and a human meant if there wasn’t the context of men and the structures and ideas forced upon women was so centred around men and what they would be doing and thinking
