Ep 729 - I Who Have Never Known Men, by Jacqueline Harpman
Manage episode 519858218 series 3402670
A story about a young woman trapped in an underground prison with 39 other women sounds like it could be a stone cold bummer, and it isn’t not that. But this translated French novel from 1995 also hits some affirming, human notes, and it’s those aspects of it that help explain why it’s found new life via word of mouth and BookTok.
