Look What You Made Me Do by Helen Walmsley-Johnson
Not all abuse leaves a mark a powerful memoir of coercive control.
Compelling.. A hard book to read, harder I imagine to have written. But absolutely necessary if you want to understand coercive control. Read it. -- Suzanne Moore * Guardian *
Coercive control may have recently been made illegal in Britain, but not many women dare to open up about it. Helen Walmsley-Johson is an exception. * The Times *
At first, Helen Walmsley-Johnson was so desperate to please her boyfriend Franc that she overlooked his exacting standards, his overbearing interest in what she wore and who she saw. But before long, her every move was controlled by the man who claimed to love her. The scariest part? How easily such behaviour – and worse – became her new normal. * You Magazine *
A forensic investigation into how an intelligent and proud forty-three year old woman became trapped in an abusive love affair ... a warming subtle realistic narrative of recovery -- Terri Apter * TLS *
Brilliant and engrossing * David Challen *
A piercingly accurate depiction of being in a controlling relationship and how difficult it is to leave * Dawn Foster *
Powerful -- Jane Garvey * Woman's Hour *
