I finished this book tonight in preparation for my book club.  I had to blog immediately.  This is the tale of an abused woman, trapped in a relationship with a husband who beats her and yet who is so lucky to receive her love.  I cannot fathom it.  I cannot fathom the life, the woman, the abuse…any of it.

I would not recommend this reading if you are at any sort of vulnerable place in your life.  However, if you are looking to be “educated,” for lack of a better word, about the life of an abused wife, then this is the book for you.

I, however, am not certain I can ever read a book like this again.
