I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman
☆ ☆ ☆
I finished this book last night, and I am not entirely sure how I feel about it. On one end, I felt like I was waiting for a big reveal the whole time, but it never came. On the other end, I was still invested in our narrators life and expeditions.
This book focuses on what makes us human, solitude, sadness, loneliness, discovery, and many more topics.
I think that the fact that nothing truly ever happened in the book was deliberate, it was to make us feel the hope of our narrator just to have that hope shattered.
If the goal of this book was to make me ponder and think about it, then it definitely succeeded.
I think for me this was a three star read because at times I felt really frustrated with it and others I couldn’t put it down.
