Description

Thirty-nine women live in an underground cage, their pasts erased and their futures uncertain, watched over by unseen guards. Among them is a young girl who has never known a world beyond these confines, for whom every experience is a new and profound discovery. As they grapple with their existence and the mysteries of their imprisonment, the narrative delves into themes of memory, identity, and the very nature of reality. This thought-provoking novel invites readers to contemplate the unknowable aspects of life and find their own meaning within its enigmatic narrative.
