Marina Vukačić

It is a powerful psychological novel about a woman who killed her "perfect" husband. A suspenseful story about the hidden, silent violence that women suffer behind closed doors.

A woman killed her husband, she stabbed him to death with a knife, it was a random murder. Neither the neighbors nor the family can believe that she was capable of doing this because, regardless of the occasional arguments, they were a completely normal couple. How is it that Lada Lončar – a gentle woman, mother of a little girl – killed her husband, a respected university professor? Now serving her sentence in a women's penitentiary, surrounded by a variety of offenders, she can reflect on what led her to give up makeup, how she lost her friends and why she gave up her career. How did she become a wife confined to the four walls of her apartment just as she is now in prison? Who was her husband, the person her mother and everyone else adored, who really was this Mr. Perfect? Safe House is a breathless read and leaves you breathless. Marina Vujčić tells the story of violence that is not written about in the newspapers, of women who suffer and fail to find a way out. Safe House is a cry against verbal and psychological violence, a warning that we should not take our friends' lives for granted, and above all, a novel about how we should always be the first person in our lives.
