"For readers who first met Harpman via her melancholic digital afterlife, We Were Forbidden. will arrive as a revelation. "-Katy Waldman, The New Yorker. From the bestselling author of I Who Have Never Known Men. comes a startling trio of novellas-translated into English for the first time-each plumbing the depths of that vital 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 works 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.
