While predictable in many ways, this book has a sterling strength: it offers clear insight into why a battered woman, especially an educated professional would remain so long in that situation. The author does not attempt to psychoanalyze the character but allows her story to unfold. The book is set in the early 70ies and reflects the attitudes/assumptions about domestic violence of that time.
