The Divines by Ellie Eaton

4.0

-audiobook in exchange for honest review-


A woman obsessed with her past at a all girls boarding school in England during the 1990s. While recounting the things that happened inside the school that lead to the clossure of the institution, she resignifies one of the most traumatic experiences she had in her life. These memories, at some point, threaten her present as a mother and wife.

Deeply humane with a lot of humor, all the characters and the odd situations that they find themselves in, are highly relatable.
I truly believe that this book is going to be a success. And I hope it does.
The writing is impecable and Josephine, the protagonist and narrator, cynicism is hysterical.

The book deals with universal themes such as female identity, sexual awakening, friendship and how we deal with trauma.
