Originally published in 1995, this dystopian novel has found a new audience thanks to BookTok. It tells the story of a girl and 39 women locked in an underground bunker, exploring themes of isolation and resilience. With no memory of the outside world, the protagonist becomes obsessed with escape and understanding her origins. Sparse and haunting, this philosophical novel examines what it means to be human in the absence of society, love and even names.
