Discover the haunting, poignant post-apocalyptic story of female friendship and intimacy, set in a desolate world. Below the ground, thirty-nine women are kept in isolation in a cell. Above, a world awaits. Has it been abandoned? Has it been ravaged by a virus? Under the supervision of guards, the women have no memory of how they got there, no sense of time, and only dim memories of their lives before. But as the burning of electric light merges day with night and countless years pass, a new girl - the fortieth prisoner - sits alone and alienated in a corner. Soon it will become clear that she is the key to escape and survival for the others in the strange world that awaits them above. The woman who will never know men. WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION BY SOPHIE MACKINTOSH, MAN BOOKER PRIZE NOMINEE WITH HER BOOK THE WATER CURE
