We Were Forbidden [CloudLibrary] / Harpman, Jacqueline. [S.l. : Transit Books, 2026. 1 online resource. Electronic book. From the author of I Who Have Never Known Men comes a startling new collection of three never-before-translated stories, each plumbing the depths of that most necessary human instinct: defiance.In the wake of some unfathomable war, a woman wanders the forest. She and her fellow survivors are forbidden from leaving its boundaries or pausing in their eternal march through its strange depths.Attending a rigid French school in 1940s Casablanca, a teenage girl is barred from ever questioning the dogma she is taught to believe—her punishment for doing so will be as swift as it is shocking.Locked in a loveless marriage in the Belgian bourgeoisie, a young woman satisfies her husband's desires, twice-weekly, as required. She has not yet thought to pursue her own.These novellas—the first work by Jacqueline Harpman to arrive in English in decades—reveal her incredible stylistic range and demonstrate once more her penetrating psychological insight. Here we find the origins of a singular, relentless voice. Electronic reproduction. [S.l.] Transit Books 2026 Available via World Wide Web. Format: Adobe EPUB.
