À propos de cet audio

Deep underground, 39 women live imprisoned in a cage. Watched over by guards, the women have no memory of how they got there, no notion of time, and only a vague recollection of their lives before.

As the burn of electric light merges day into night and numberless years pass, a young girl—the 40th prisoner—sits alone and outcast in the corner. Soon she will show herself to be the key to the others’ escape and survival in the strange world that awaits them above ground.

Informed by her background as a psychoanalyst and her youth in exile, I Who Have Never Known Men is a haunting, heartbreaking post-apocalyptic novel of female friendship and intimacy, and the lengths people will go to maintain their humanity in the face of devastation. Back in print for the first time since 1997, Jacqueline Harpman’s modern classic is an important addition to the growing canon of feminist speculative literature.

This audio edition of I Who Have Never Known Men is expertly read by Nikki Massoud, a listener favorite. Produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.

I couldn’t stop listening. The story is perfection. I felt as if I became the main character felt all that she felt.

Phenomenal!!

The book just kept me wanting something to happen. You would think with as little actual events occurring in the story there would be incredible character development. But Im left knowing next to nothing about every other character in the story. Obviously it’s from the “child’s” perspective and she lacked the social skills to write details on the other women, but living with 39 other women you would think she would have developed more social abilities. I found the concept interesting, but it’s not a book I would recommend to anyone else.

Just okay

This is one of those books that stays with you long after you finish it. As a huge fan of apocalyptic dystopian stories, it absolutely nailed everything I love about the genre. I would honestly love the chance to sit down with the author and hear what she was thinking as she wrote it.

Wow! Amazing

I really loved this book, it gave me the same feeling that other wonderful novellas have like piranesi and ocean at the end of the lane. I love these short introspective. very strange science fiction/fantasy Tales that say something about our humanity more than something about the world that they exist in. I who have never known men is truly a masterpiece

I think I will always be chasing this type of story

Very boring
