Eva's Man: Gayl Jones

An intense, searing novel exploring the damage of racial and sexual violence.

Eva Medina Canada sits in her psychiatric ward, silent. She has murdered her lover and they want to know why. Her memories weave back and forth over encounters with the men in her life - the schoolboy who played doctors and nurses with a dirty popsicle stick; her mother's boyfriend; her cousin; her husband; a stranger on the bus. She's been propositioned and abused for as long as she can remember.
