I listened to the audiobook which is read by the author herself. You can hear the emotion and passion on the topic in her voice. 

It was an incredibly graphic and horrific book to listen to but I could not stop listening. Jess manages to make a topic that is horrendous into a book you can’t put down. Her research skills are next level and the way she tells people’s stories with respect and dignity is commendable. 

I spent almost the entire time shaking my head and cringing in shame that we live in a world this horrific and that I didn’t have a clue about the extent of domestic abuse even slightly. It was eye opening and a very interesting listen. I have learnt a lot.

Australian set domestic violence book that investigates the landscape of domestic abuse in the Australian context. Uses key cases and lived experience to inform, and demonstrates key concepts well. A must-read, and a first at illustrating dv in a digestible way for audiences in Australia specifically. Breaks down stereotypes and common misconceptions about domestic and family violence.

Very challenging topic and content, but also very important to try to understand and to find a way as a society to recognise domestic abuse, provide adequate resources and support for people affected by domestic abuse, and to learn from the case studies where rates of domestic abuse were significantly decreased following community-led actions.
