Jacqueline Harpman (Author)
Jacqueline Harpman was born in Etterbeek, Belgium in 1929. Being
half Jewish, the family fled to Casablanca when the Nazis invaded,
and only returned home after the war. After studying French
literature she started training to be a doctor, but could not
complete her training due to contracting tuberculosis. She turned
to writing in 1954 and her first work was published in 1958. In
1980 she qualified as a psychoanalyst. Harpman wrote over 15 novels
and won numerous literary prizes, including the Prix Medicis for
Orlanda. I Who Have Never Known Men was her first novel to be
translated into English, and was originally published with the
title The Mistress of Silence
