Book Review: "The Girls From Alexandria" By Carol Cooper



The Girls From Alexandria didn't work the way I might've hoped.

I'm not sure how to even classify this as it's a non linear narrative that fluctuated between the past and present focusing on childhood memories that weren't in chronological order.

Therefore, for someone in her late 40's that's had her own issues with long term memory this book just didn't hold up. The constant recollection of dates between the mid 50's were too rampant and off setting to keep track of and made it next to impossible to endure.

The story was one that never peaked my interest and unfortunately I had to take a DNF around the 30% point.

Thank you to Carol Cooper, the pub, NetGalley, and Amazon Kindle for this ARC in exchange for this honest review.
