When I Hit You by Meena Kandasamy

dark emotional sad medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character

4.0

it's definitely well written and discusses an abusive marriage which is an important topic to bring up. i liked the way the author psychologically analysed the marriage in question, as well as misogyny, oppression in general, and the ideology behind the oppression of women. i did find this difficult to get through purely because it's emotionally a lot to handle, and for that reason i wouldn't reread it. however, this is an extremely valuable novel and i'm glad i read it. the writing style was pretty good too.
