I Who Have Never Known Men

4/5 stars, Though this book leaves me with so many questions, it was beautifully written and kept my attention throughout.

5/5 ⭐️

My god, what a story.

To say I was engrossed would be an utter understatement. This book had me in its grasp from the first paragraph and took me on one me the most harrowing and thought-provoking reads I have ever sat through. It’s a difficult novel, filled with so many questions, yet yield little answers. The story is so simple, yet offers such complex ideas of humanity, which makes you feel like you’ve lived an entire lifetime alongside the main character. This is no cake-walk; this novel easily is one of the darkest and bleakest that I have ever read, but the knowledge you gain after is worth the effort put in to read it.

I haven’t been this completely engrossed in a story in a hot minute, so it was refreshing to find something new and compelling, and I cannot wait to see what our book club discussion is going to look like, because this novel has so much to discuss.

we don’t need men 🗣️
