Does anyone know of any good domestic violence/marital abuse books? not "help yourself" kinds but true stories from survivors etc? sort of like the dave pelzer books but about domestic violence between adults?

The Woman who Walked into Doors by Roddy Doyle. VG. It's fiction, but I've met an awful lot of women who've been thru' domestic violence (I'm a divorce lawyer) and a lot of the stuff in the book echoed what my clients have told me over the years.

I really recommend it. Without giving the end away too much, hubby gets his comeuppance.
