zoes_human 's review for:
Lives of Girls and Women
by Alice Munro
emotional
This was a coming-of-age novel in which a soft voice speaks gently of truths in such a way that they creep up on you rather than leap out into your face. It's the sort of novel that gives you pause as you read. While it's technically historical fiction, there is something timeless about it. It spoke strongly to the way that we all come to sexual adulthood alone.
There was, however, something that felt faintly incomplete about it. There were things that you wanted to know more of but that were just allowed to drift off into the background of the story despite a sense that those events should go somewhere. The central theme is almost lost amidst the details.
