I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman

4.5

adventurous challenging emotional reflective sad fast-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Character

Strong character development: Yes

Loveable characters: No

Diverse cast of characters: No

Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

This is super thought provoking….a total English class book if you know what I mean. Makes you think about what it means to be human, what it means to be a woman, friendships, isolation, time, government. It leave enough concepts vaguely interpreted by the narrator that you draw your own conclusions.
I docked it 0.5 because it’s depressing and explicitly cerebral.
