Review of 'Women Without Men' on 'Storygraph'
4 stars
This was good. I am not a huge fan of magical realism but this was a surprise. I am not going to comment on the writing because this is a translation. The story follows 5 women & we follow each of their stories through different chapters. Then, their lives intersect later in the book. They all have their separate endings that weren't really satisfying for me. But, yes, I'd definitely recommend this. Also, I don't know about other translations but this one was approved by Shahrnush Parsipur.
