I Who Have Never Known Men
von Jacqueline Harpman
A young woman is kept in a cage underground with thirty-nine other females, guarded by armed men who never speak; her crimes unremembered...if indeed there were crimes.The youngest of forty--a child with no name and no past--she survives for some purpose long forgotten in a world ravaged and wasted. In this reality where intimacy is forbidden--in the unrelenting sameness of the artificial days and nights--she knows nothing of books and time, of needs and feelings.Then everything changes...and nothing changes.A young woman who has never known men--a child who knows of no history before the bars and restraints--must now reinvent herself, piece by piece, in a place she has never been...and in the face of the most challenging and terrifying of unknowns: freedom.

Rezension von Lucie wow. sehr fesselnd, wunderschön geschrieben
Rezension von coffeedate.with.myselfthis really had me hooked. I still don't really know what to think of it (which is a good sign). It's unlike everything I've read before and somehow it was feminist and sexist at the same time.
Rezension von EniEasily the best book I have read 2025. I was captivated by its imaginativeness whilst casually discussing the meaning of life (,mind and body) - as a women, as a person. I loved looking through the narrators eys, her conciousness being so broad and open dispite her caged and controlled upbringing. So fearless, unresentful, intelligent and driven. I felt curiousity, anger, togetherness, sadness, love, loneliness ... it was all there in this vast solitary story.
Rezension von booksxtropes 📚🐭Ein kleines besonderes Buch, anders und nachhallend.
Rezension von ElisaBei der Hauptcharakterin hat mir sehr gut gefallen, wie sie sich von denen unterscheidet, die sich an ihr vorheriges Leben erinnern und welche Stärke ihr ihr Nichtwissen gibt. Trotzdem war mir ihr Leben insgesamt zu sinnlos.
