Три зуба в банке

Written on a mobile phone from inside a life she could not escape, Three Teeth in a Jar is a raw and unflinching memoir-novel about survival, silence, and the stubborn will to keep going. Josephine's memories don't arrive in order. They come in snatches — a grandmother's kitchen in Queensland, a child's first betrayal at five years old, a Category 5 cyclone bearing down on a house she built with her own hands in a Pacific island village. Through fractured chapters that leap across continents and decades, she traces the invisible thread connecting the girl who learned to stop breathing to the woman still learning when it's safe to exhale. From the Australian bush to the beaches of Fiji, through marriages that promised love and delivered control, Josephine navigates the hidden landscape of coercive relationships — not just with partners, but with the silence that kept her alive. Part survival story, part reckoning, and unexpectedly darkly funny, her voice is unmistakably her own: sharp, restless, self-aware, and never quite willing to look away. Three Teeth in a Jar is a testament to the quiet courage of finally speaking — and a book for anyone who has a friend who has gone gradually silent. Content note: This novel explores themes of domestic abuse, coercive control, and childhood sexual abuse. Reader discretion is advised.
