Fiction Book Club: I Who Has Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman

Join us as we read I Who Has Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman, a haunting and unforgettable dystopian novel that explores isolation, survival, and the meaning of humanity. The story follows a young girl who grows up imprisoned with thirty-nine women, knowing nothing of the outside world until an unexpected event sets them free.

With sparse, lyrical prose, Harpman creates a powerful meditation on what it means to live without society, memory, or even love. This thought-provoking novel raises timeless questions about freedom, identity, and the resilience of the human spirit.
