ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman tells the story of forty women who have lived for years in an underground bunker, their only contact with the outside world being the male guards who oversee them. Their lives of confinement are abruptly disrupted when a siren sounds, and they manage to escape into a mysterious and seemingly deserted world. The narrative centers on one woman who, having been raised in the bunker since early childhood, has no memory of the world before and observes her surroundings and the other women with a unique and detached perspective. As they venture into the unknown, the women grapple with the possibility that they are the last survivors on an alien-seeming planet, exploring themes of isolation, the essence of humanity, and the search for meaning in the face of the inexplicable.
