We were forbidden Cover Image Book

We were forbidden / Jacqueline Harpman ; translated from the French by Ros Schwartz.

Harpman, Jacqueline, (author.). Schwartz, Ros, (translator.).

Summary:

In this newly translated collection of three novellas, Jacqueline Harpman explores the many forms of resistance in the face of oppression. A woman trapped in a mysterious postwar forest struggles against strict rules governing the survivors' existence. A schoolgirl in 1940s Casablanca risks severe consequences when she dares to question authority. And a young wife confined by the expectations of an unhappy marriage begins to awaken to desires of her own. Thought-provoking and psychologically rich, these stories examine freedom, identity, and the enduring human urge to defy limitations.
