The Art of Leaving a Psychopath

Ida meets Vlad and falls head over heels in love. They move in together, get married, and have children—appearing to be a happy family. But behind the façade, a nightmare unfolds. Ida is forced to lie to those closest to her about a daily life marked by abuse and threats. Revealing the truth could cost her her life, yet in the end she has no choice: if she stays with Vlad, he will kill her.

A literary novel inspired by real experiences of domestic abuse.
