Drowning Katelin Maloney Books Reviews
I just finished reading this book. It was a very powerful book. I found myself so angry with Mitch and was rooting for Rebecca so much. Unfortunately this is a subject that never seems to end. The shame of it is that these women can get away, but are so often terrified and not able to do so. Another sad thing is that the abusers all have the same trait - to control the person completely, physically and mentally. Just wish the abused woman would realize they are worth something and have a right to life and happiness
I went back and forth between a four or five. I wish I could give a four and a half. The surprise ending pulled me toward the five. I don't want to say anymore because I don't want to spoil the ending. I did want to add that I don't understand why she stayed with him as long as she did. This isn't the 1950s when a woman was trapped because society frowned on married working women and she did have a job. My attitude has always been hit me once and you're history.
As someone who has written about her own abusive marriage, I can tell you that Maloney perfectly conveys in this novel the dangerous ground a victim of domestic violence lives on. Rebecca is very relatable, so readers care about her and will feel what she feels as she remains constantly careful of setting off her handsome husband Mitch, a doctor who appears to the world as a perfect husband. She becomes a lessened version of herself by hiding her thoughts, feelings and ambitions. The book flows beautifully and is hard to put down. I understand Maloney is working on other books related to this story, which I will definitely pick up.
This book should be required reading for all young women. If you have seen any tendencies like Mitch in your partner, this book will help you see where it leads. Rebecca is in a cycle of hope - the next big milestone will be when Mitch starts acting like he did back at the beginning - until he doesn’t. “Mitch seems to know when I am at my breaking point,” Rebecca thinks to herself, “He becomes the man I thought I’d married and pulls me back to him.”.
It breaks my heart to think of friends stuck in these horrible circumstances. Domestic Violence is WAY TOO COMMON and it needs to stop.
For all the fathers, grandfathers, brothers, and friends of DV victim’s or suspected victim’s, read this book. It will help you understand what she’s going through, and it will help you understand what to look for.
The writing is clear as a bell. While the content is all cringe-worthy all the time, Maloney’s prose is smooth, unaffected, honest. She writes about laundry, a scene at a restaurant, and because the danger knob is turned up so high, I am completely engaged. I am there with every fold, every forkful.
Mitch is menacing. The unrelenting stress Rebecca feels is sickening. The author has painted a vivid and vibrant picture of how life looks when you are stuck in a situation that has gotten out of control.
With this book, Katelin Maloney has put a dent in the fiction created in order to weaken and control women.
I tend to read genre books – mystery, romantic suspense, etc. A friend recommended this book and I’m so glad I read it. The story is about a woman – an ordinary person. She is married. She has a job. She is looking forward to one day having kids. She wants to work hard and possibly get a promotion. She could be anyone you know. I learned a lot about the insidiousness of domestic violence. By the end of the book, the reader has a new appreciation for good relationships, for friends, and for people who reach out to us. Readers are also reminded to never lose sight of what is in our hearts and we are urged to take action! Please recommend this book to three of your friends. It could save a life.
I wish there was a way I could give more than 5 stars.This was an amazing book.This author took on a topic many people don't want to talk about,but it's time.We have people that are dying,being beaten and made to feel as if life is over..Many will be no more,some will rise above,but too lose anyone to domestic violence is just sad.But Katelin is making a difference by writing this book.As she so clearly stated in this book,No More Silence, Stop The Violence.
