The Best Way to Bury Your Husband by Alexia Casale

4.0

This is the first time I've read a book set during the lockdown period, and it's an incredibly important one. The abuse faced by (mainly) women during this time when they were stuck inside with their abusers is an untold story that we don't think about, but is a story that needs to be told. It's dark, but alleviated by snippets of dark humour and female friendships. You can't help but root for all the women.
