We Were Forbidden – Jacqueline Harpman
£9.99A startling new collection of three never-before-translated stories, from the author of I Who Have Never Known Men

Locked in a loveless marriage, a young woman satisfies her husband’s desires, twice-weekly, as directed – until she begins to pursue her own.
Includes the stories: The Ardennes Forest, The Outcast and The Broom Cupboard
