Description
When I Hit You by Meena Kandasamy is a powerful and unflinching portrayal of an abusive marriage. The unnamed narrator's love for her partner gradually gives way to a toxic relationship, as he seeks to control every aspect of her life. As she struggles to maintain her own identity, the boundaries between love and ownership become increasingly blurred. This book is a searing exploration of the complexities of modern Indian relationships, where traditional expectations often collide with individual desires. Through its unflinching portrayal of domestic violence, it sheds light on the devastating consequences of patriarchal norms. A celebration of art and literature, as well as a powerful critique of societal norms, When I Hit You is a courageous and thought-provoking read that will resonate with anyone who has experienced or witnessed abuse.
