Domestic abuse in fiction

Can anyone recommend any fiction books with good feminist representation of domestic abuse? I don't think I've ever read one and I'm hoping there's some out there!

I'm looking for something that's realistic and doesn't minimise the perpetrators behaviour but also allows the women agency.

Any ideas?

The woman who walked into doors, by Roddy Doyle is excellent.

Ghost Wall by Sarah Moss is a short book, and very different to what I was expecting, but it does have a theme of abusive domestic relationships (both mother and daughter suffer at the hands of the husband / father).
