This was tough, but good. I loved its cyclical nature and the way it told the life of a woman from girlhood to death on Union Street, but through the lives of several intertwined women. Very cleverly written, but I imagine it‘s not for everyone. 4🌟

just over the halfway mark with this one, definitely a tough read in terms of the topics that are explored, but Barker writes with striking realism and grit that means you just can‘t help turn the page, definitely going to need to read something lighter once I‘m done!

all the books for my feminist fiction class starting next semester have arrived so time to get reading! finished The Bell Jar a few weeks ago and next up is Union Street, which I am getting started on now.
anyone see any favourites here? 📚
I love many of Pat Barker‘s books and Union Street did not disappoint. The book comprises of some the women and girls who live on Union Street; tragic and sad but with strong women who make the book sing.
