1. Cats Eye, by Margret Atwood. It’s one of those books with really lush writing. A little witchy, with themes about girlhood, family, society.
2. I who have never known men, by Jacquelin Harpman. This one the stuck with me for a while. A girl grows up in captivity and learns about life from the older women she’s held captive with.
3. All Fours, by Miranda July. I loved reading this because it was so wacky. Imagine telling everyone you’re going on an epic roadtrip only to hide out in a motel just out of town. I had so much fun discussing this with friends.
YAY thank you very very much-- I loved I who have never known men and All Fours so now I absolutely have to read Cats Eye!! What a fabulous list. I will report back but you had me at witchy, girlhood, and lush
