I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman

3.5

I Who Have Never Known Men is a dystopian novel about an adolescent girl, our narrator, and thirty-nine women imprisoned underground. How did they get there? No one is sure, and the only clue is the guarded men who watch them. My favorite thing about this novel is how ambiguous everything is. The loose ends ultimately left me feeling haunted. Overall, I’d recommend this book if you like stories about survival, identity, and human connection.
