āViolence is not something that advertises itself. It is not written on my face - he is too careful for that, of course, aiming his fists at my body. As long as a woman cannot speak, as long as those to whom she speaks do not listen, the violence is unending.ā ā¢ ā¢ Reading this book was quite an experience - an uncomfortable yet important one. I wasnāt expecting it to be such philosophical but Iām not mad about it. Kandasamyās account of domestic violence is raw and unapologetic and I wouldnāt have it any other way. Domestic violence is not something to be sugar-coated. In short, this was incredible and I enjoyed it very much - even though āenjoyā is maybe not the right word to be paired with this subject matter. ā¢ This is the last book I have to read for the Womenās Prize for fiction and I think it is a very worthy winner but Iāll be happy if either Sing, Unburied, Sing or Home Fire take the prize home. ā¢ ā¢ What are you currently reading? Iāve been MIA for the past week but Iām hoping to get back on reading now š· ā¢ ā¢ #whenihityou #womensprize #bookreview #bookreviewers #leoyrecomiendo #booksandglasses #bookstagramespaƱa #librosgram #readergram #bookstagramista #bookstagramit #recentreads #bookishpost #bookishfeed #bookishphoto #readerofinstagram #booksofinsta #unitedbookstagram
