@bookstodon Still thinking about a remarkable book, like nothing I've ever read: I WHO HAVE NEVER KNOWN MEN, by Jacqueline Harpman. It's speculative and post-apocalyptic, but also eerily psychological, examining what makes us human, what we need to form an identity, and the importance of friendship and intimacy.

The author and her family escaped Belgium during WWII. The fact that she survived while so many other Jews perished in the camps, is significant and greatly informs the story.
