I Who Have Never Known Men

Beskrivelse

A gripping post-apocalyptic tale about survival and sisterhood unfolds underground, where thirty-nine women are imprisoned without memory or time. One young girl, the fortieth prisoner, becomes the key to their escape into an unknown world above.

A powerful story of isolation, resilience, and the mysterious world beyond confinement.

Deep beneath the surface, thirty-nine women are held captive in a cage, isolated from the world above. They have no memories of how they arrived or any sense of time passing, only faint glimpses of their past lives. The outside world remains a mystery-has it been deserted or ravaged by a virus?

Under the watchful eyes of guards and the harsh glare of electric lights that blur day into night, the women endure endless years of captivity. Amid them sits a solitary young girl, the fortieth prisoner, an outcast in the corner. She soon reveals herself to be the crucial figure in leading the others toward freedom and survival in the strange, unfamiliar world waiting above ground.

This haunting narrative is complemented by a new introduction from Sophie Mackintosh, Booker Prize-longlisted author of The Water Cure.
