«Meena Kandasamy's vivid, sharp and precise writing makes a triumph of When I Hit You«— Guardian
Seduced by politics, poetry and an enduring dream of building a better world together, the unnamed narrator falls in love with a university professor. Moving with him to a rain-washed coastal town, she swiftly learns that what for her is a bond of love is for him a contract of ownership. As he sets about reducing her to his idealised version of an obedient wife, bullying her and devouring her ambition of being a writer in the process, she attempts to push back — a resistance he resolves to break with violence and rape.

    I do not have words to describe how much I loved this book. It's made worse by the fact that I'm not good at reviewing either.

    All I can say is that this was perhaps one of my greatest reads this year. One of my favorite books.

    Some men leave me because I am unpredictable – sunshine one moment and storm clouds the next; the scent of summer rain with the sleep-depriving aftershock of thunder. They cannot keep pace with the fighting that follows the kissing that follows the argument that follows the laughing in unending circles.

    Sometimes the shame is not the beatings, not the rape.

    The shaming is in being asked to stand to judgment.

    He believes that after him, I will have nothing left in me to love, to make love, to give pleasure.
