I Who Have Never Known Men
Book • 1995
In this haunting and heartbreaking novel, thirty-nine women and a young girl are held prisoner in an underground cage, watched over by silent male guards.
With no memory of how they got there or any notion of time, their lives are marked by the monotony of their confinement.
When an alarm sounds and the guards flee, the prisoners escape to find themselves on a vast, barren plain with no other people in sight.
The novel delves into themes of loneliness, sensory deprivation, and the struggle for survival in a desolate world, offering a profound exploration of human nature, female friendship, and the human condition.
