My name is Eva: five women, stories, one toga

Five women. Five lives marked by violence, control, fear-and the moment each finds the strength to react.Alena, Miriam, Giorgia, Sonia and Karen tell their stories in their own voices. Their experiences are different: domestic violence, addiction, coercive control, stalking, manipulation and exploitation. Yet each of them, in a different way, must fight to reclaim a life that someone else has tried to control.Every story is followed by the lawyer's closing argument. Private suffering enters the courtroom; emotion becomes evidence; memories become testimony; and a woman's personal story becomes a demand for justice.Inspired in part by real cases and substantially fictionalized to protect identities, My Name Is Eva moves between intimate first-person narrative and courtroom advocacy, revealing both the hidden mechanisms of abuse and the difficult path toward freedom.This is not simply a book about victims. It is a book about women who survived, resisted and, sometimes after hesitation and mistakes, found the courage to speak.
