I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman

5.0
This book is understated but so powerful. If you absolutely demand answers from a book, this is not the read for you, but if you’re satisfied to be intrigued and go along with the ride the MC is on, you’ll enjoy this. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoyed Our Wives Under the Sea for example. This book has my favorite thing - an older woman telling her story. But in a lot of ways, she’s quite childlike. She doesn’t know our world, only this completely surreal one. There are so many hints about what happened, but they all add new questions rather than answers, and I really loved that.
