Such a terrifying, unsettling book. The lack of details only makes it more so - we only know what the narrator does, which is not a lot given that she has lived her life in captivity. The whole book is like a nightmare, as the back cover aptly points out. Nevertheless, I was riveted and like the narrator, looking for answers and meaning until the end.

Cathythoughts Great review 👍🏻❤️ I be see I have it stacked already. 3d

It's not yet midnight here so i can still say HAPPY #BOOKSPIN DAY to all who celebrate! I think my March draws are an interesting combo and I'm most excited for my DoubleSpin which is the tagged. My BookSpin this month is a little chunkier than the rest of my list because it's actually a two for one volume.

I deeply appreciate this book written by a Jewish author whose family survived nazi Germany. It is a ditopic philosophical novel. I did not enjoy the reading experience. 2.5 🌟

Miraculously just finished this one with an hour to spare, and it‘s so far out of my comfort zone I don‘t know what to say except I liked it?? I stayed up past my bedtime a few nights just to get a few more pages in and I haven‘t done that in ages.

Y'all. Katherine Arden is just...magical. So...what if ghost stories and folktales associated with war were real (i.e. what if a fiddler really was on that roof?) This book, like all her books, beautifully weaves folk stories and reality, and I CANNOT get enough of her!

BookmarkTavern Sounds amazing! 2w

I think this needs to come with many warnings: kidnapping/incarceration in a bunker,suicide,murder. I wanted to bail towards the end but decided not to. It‘s a claustrophobic, heartrending story ¬ for everyone. It reminded me a bit of The Wall by Haushofer because of its focus on women,solitude & there‘s this element of “fantasy” which is the wrong word, speculation perhaps “what if” without answering questions of why,how or even when or where?

Anna40 while creating a world where women are cut off from the rest of the world. But what is this world? It‘s simultaneously familiar and foreign. The story is filled with metaphors and the book overall is one “big” metaphor. This is a novel that shocked me, moved me, made me feel as if I was locked up alongside these women,caught in this dreadful world. A masterpiece but a very tough read. (edited) 4w
