Sarah's life appears intact.
She is a teacher, a mother, a wife. The house runs. The children are cared for. Nothing is visibly broken. And yet beneath the routines of school runs and grocery lists, something inside her has begun to fracture.
When a moment of exhaustion opens into a dream, Sarah descends into a layered and symbolic landscape where memory and myth begin to intertwine. A bleeding sofa. A broken kitchen tile. A courtroom that bends time. A tower rising from the edge of the sea. With each return, she is forced to confront the inherited patterns that have shaped her marriage - and the generational trauma she has mistaken for love.
At the centre of the dream stands the Tower that rewrites the old age fairytale myth around love, where Sarah must face the shadow of herself that has learned to endure, to disappear, to regulate everyone else but her own desires. What unfolds is not an escape story, but something quieter and more radical: the decision to remain present.
The Tower is a psychologically intimate novella about emotional control, domestic crisis, and the rewriting of myth. Moving between stark realism and recursive dream, it traces the subtle moment a woman stops surviving and begins, finally, to wake.
Perfect for readers of literary fiction exploring psychological depth, mythic symbolism, and the quiet revolutions of domestic life.
