M()nster : a novel / by Bydlowska, Jowita,author.;
"Monster is a shattering, feminist manifesto exploring sexual awakening, motherhood, immigrant trauma, and the power of female rage. Yoveeta is angry. But her rage is quiet, internal, festering inside and forming a mysterious creation that she refers to as "Monster", something that began as longing when she lost her first home, country, and language, and that kept on growing as she experienced sexual and romantic trauma. Her quest for home led her into a toxic relationship with Voytek, an older, former professor and accomplished Polish writer who fathered her daughter, Ruby, and who gave her a house that finally made her feel as if she landed somewhere safe. But their marriage was anything but safe, with Voytek's penchant for infidelity and unrelenting gaslighting. As her relationship with her husband crumbles into separation, Yoveeta develops a new, motivating force to fight for her home and future. The invigorating new love gives her the courage to leave her toxic situation and come up with an ultimate and drastic solution, carried out with the help of her new accomplice."--

After the local paper publishes an article about his lucky find and generous donation to the museum, though, Jacob's life is turned upside down again.
