I Who Have Never Known Men

I am right now trying to decompress from finishing this book. Emotionally, it is like Cormac McCarthy's The Road. It is bleak and harrowing and there is a tension that underlines every moment.

But it is also an intimate journey with a naive stranger, who sees the world and its people differently than we do, and in that difference there is courage and curiosity and determination.

Ultimately this is a book that gnaws at something in the very core of us and leaves us somewhat raw, ready to grow back better.
