Lives Like Mine

Description

Lives Like Mine by Eva Verde is a powerful contemporary novel exploring identity, womanhood, and family through the eyes of Monica, a mixed-race woman living in East London. On the surface, she has a seemingly perfect life — a stable job, a husband, and children — but beneath it all, she’s struggling to find her voice and place in a world that often silences women like her.

As Monica navigates the pressures of motherhood, marriage, and her cultural heritage, long-buried emotions rise to the surface, forcing her to confront truths about herself, her past, and what she truly wants.

This is a raw, emotional, and timely story about race, resilience, and reclaiming your identity.
