katharina90 's review for:

I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman
2.5
mysterious reflective slow-paced
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated

I get what the author was trying to do but the execution was underwhelming. 

The underlying philosophical questions are worth reflecting on but weren't explored in a way that I found satisfying. 

The plot was too ambiguous and absurd for me to enjoy it. 

If this was supposed to be feminist, it's definitely not a feminism I subscribe to.
