One reason domestic violence/abuse is so full of myths is because the victims are scared to talk. For many of us, luckily, it is an unknown world, but 'Provoked' opens this world up to us. It provides some answers as to how women get themselves in these situations, why they stay, and the day to day doings of sick abusers. As expected, much sadness when reading this, but overall a very important, enlightening read. Provided me with much food for thought on my own culture, views etc. Books which tell such in-depth, lengthy stories usually prove hard to get into, 'difficult reads', but this has been written very well. Well done to Kiranjit for being so brave and candid.
