Description

In a world without memory, thirty-nine women live in darkness, their lives reduced to a vague recollection of a past that may never have been. Deep beneath the earth, they are watched over by guards, their existence a mere afterthought. Yet, in this desolate place, a young girl begins to stir, her presence a spark of hope in a world devoid of light. As the years pass, she will become the key to the others' escape and survival, a beacon of humanity in a world that has lost its way. Jacqueline Harpman's novel, I Who Have Never Known Men, is a haunting and heartbreaking tale of female friendship and intimacy, set against the backdrop of a post-apocalyptic world. Informed by her own experiences as a psychoanalyst and her youth in exile, Harpman crafts a story that is both deeply personal and universally relatable. This powerful novel is a worthwhile read for anyone who has ever struggled to find hope in the darkest of times. Back in print for the first time since 1997, I Who Have Never Known Men is a modern classic of feminist speculative literature, offering a powerful exploration of the human condition in the face of devastation.
