"Her Side of the Story" is a novel by Alba de Cespedes, which, according to information for 2025, is scheduled for publication in 2026 by Livebook Publishing. Alessandra always wanted more than life could offer her. Growing up in an apartment building in Rome in the 1930s, she watches as her mother's dreams crumble and her own future becomes increasingly uncertain. She falls passionately in love with Francesco, an anti-fascist professor, marries him, but turns out to be only dependent on her husband, who did not want to understand her deep feelings. She increasingly asks herself the question: what does it take to free herself from the expectations of society and start living by her own rules?
