theelliad 's review for:

I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman
4.0

what an odd little melancholy book. 
This is a story I feel I will keep forever in the back of my mind, in all it’s ambiguous haunting glory. The hundreds of unanswered questions are frustrating but equally clever and I feel the moments of annoyance are well balanced with poetic and mildly traumatic moments.
