What a powerfulbook and so well written. This is a story of an intelligent, feminist Indian writer/poet who becomes trapped in an abusive, violent marriage. To survive, she has to bury her beliefs, her personality, her past, her dreams and her desire to retaliate.The response of her family and friends is truly shocking but all too believable. Women suffer appalling domestic abuse while the world looks away

One of the best books I have ever read.
