I Who Have Never Known Men
by Jacqueline Harpman
I WHO HAVE NEVER KNOWN MEN by JACQUELINE HARPMAN
Wow. This book was an experience. It’s been a while since a book made me feel sick with shock and sadness. It’s slow in pace but it’s only short so it’s never tedious in any way. The only reason I read it slowly is because it was so difficult to manage at times.
I think this was originally written in French and some of the turns of phrase were really beautiful.
The story follows a group of 40 women who have been living in a bunker surrounded by whip lashing guards for as long as the young protagonist can remember. Through a series of events that I won’t explain, the women must learn how to survive.
If you want answers and clear endings when you read a book, then don’t read this. If you want to learn more about the human condition and themes of womanhood and friendship and aloneness, then do read this book. If you want to be blown away, read this book.
God I loved it!
