The woman who walked into doors

A brutal and moving portrait of Fiona, a woman who narrates her journey through abusive relationships and domestic violence. Doyle builds the story in small fragments, gradually revealing the physical and emotional scars of someone living under the weight of abuse.

With a unique and disturbing narrative voice, the novel exposes the reality of intimate violence, not through melodrama, but through a psychological acuity that makes the work simultaneously intimate and universal. A book that challenges and moves, offering dignity to the story of those who often remain invisible.
