Book Club | I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman

Welcome to our September book club kit: I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman. Available on Amazon and all good bookstores from £4.99, this haunting and heartbreaking novel delves into humanity set in a deserted world. At just 188 pages, it is a compact yet powerful read during this summer! “Don’t judge by its cover, it stimulates intelligence and triggers more than what you thought.”

Synopsis:

Deep underground, thirty-nine women are confined in a cage, watched over by silent guards. They have no memory of how they got there, no notion of time, and only vague recollections of their past lives. Above ground, an unknown world awaits - abandoned, devastated by a virus, or something else entirely.

Amidst the burn of electric light that blurs day into night, a young girl sits alone, outcast. She holds the key to the others’ escape and survival in the strange world above. This young woman, who has never known men, must navigate the terrifying but also exciting unknowns.
