Tuesday: The Day Could No Longer Do It Alone
At thirty-eight, Marta Dellavalle was the woman who could handle everything.
A successful career. A loving husband. Two daughters. A life that looked perfect from the outside.
By forty-four, she can barely make it to Tuesday.
What begins as relentless exhaustion slowly becomes something far more unsettling. Doctors call it burnout. Stress. Long COVID. Fibromyalgia. Depression. Every diagnosis explains part of the puzzle-but none explains why the woman she used to be seems to have disappeared.
When her sister invites her to spend a week in Lisbon, Marta expects nothing more than a change of scenery. Instead, the city's winding streets, unexpected encounters, and quiet beauty begin to uncover the parts of herself she thought were gone forever.
As the days pass, she is forced to confront a painful question:
When did surviving replace living?
Tuesday is an emotionally powerful novel about invisible illness, motherhood, marriage, identity, and the courage to reclaim your life before it slips away.
Perfect for readers of contemporary women's fiction, emotionally rich literary fiction, and stories of resilience, healing, and self-discovery.
