Synopsis "I who Have Never Known men"

Discover the haunting, heartbreaking post-apocalyptic tale of female friendship and intimacy set in a deserted world.

Deep underground, thirty-nine women live imprisoned in a cage. Watched over by guards, these women have no memory of how they got there, no notion of time, and only vague recollections of their lives before. As the burn of electric light merges day into night and numberless years pass, a young girl – the fortieth prisoner – sits alone and outcast in the corner. But soon she will show herself to be the key to the others’ escape and survival in the strange world that awaits them above.

‘A haunting post-apocalyptic tale’ Guardian

'An intriguingly dark thought experiment told by a compellingly alien voice...strangely fascinating' The Times

Jacqueline Harpman (Etterbeek, Brussels, 5 July 1929 - 24 May 2012) was a Belgian novelist and psychoanalyst of Jewish origin. During World War II, her family took refuge in Casablanca to escape Nazi persecution. After the war, they returned to Belgium, where Harpman studied French literature at the University of Brussels. She began medical studies, but abandoned them due to tuberculosis. Among her most notable works are "I Who Have Never Known Men" (2021), "Orlanda" (1996), awarded the Médicis Prize, and "The Beach at Ostend". Her novels, written in French, explore themes of identity and human existence.
