Eva is modest and hard-working. Eva is satisfied with little. But Eva is thirsty for love. That’s why, when Viktor comes into her life, she wants to believe in happiness: he’s handsome, virile, intelligent, and he’s chosen her. So Eva adapts, Eva sympathizes, Eva puts up with it. She never complains. How far can human beings endure a toxic relationship?
In a language that is both simple and harsh, Milica Vučković uncompromisingly exposes the patriarchal patterns in which women are taught to suffer and accept that love must hurt.
This novel is the voice of those who remain silent.
