About this listen
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.

Just okay
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.

Loved this one
Such an intriguing concept, I enjoyed the characters and I also found it hard to pause. I was so curious until the last sentence about what might happen

Such an interesting story!
I absolutely loved this book. Unlike anything I’ve read. I liked the way the narrator spoke and I like the words used when the child was trying to explain things in her own words and it made you have to think about what was actually going on.
It’s amazing how if you look at it as a whole, there wasn’t much that went on overall but it was just so thought provoking that it had me hoping and wanting to read a second book.
