A review by _dunno_
The Group by Mary McCarthy
4.0
Depicting events from almost 90 years ago, the book—written almost 60 years ago—feels today as fresh as it probably was back then. By watching closely the 8 women, Mary McCarthy shows us all the facets of femininity—sex, marriage, motherhood, family, employment, friendship, mental health, politics, death, you name it—there's not a single thing she's left out. The times have changed, the language and mannerisms as well, but, in its essence, the book hasn't lost a single drop of authenticity and feels deeply relatable. Brilliant, sharp and funny, this Mary!
