    [Shocked][Shocked] This book is superbly written, unlike any other novel of this kind [drooling][drooling]. The female protagonist endures humiliation and makes sacrifices, yet she has an independent personality, acts decisively, and doesn't drag things out. After leaving the scumbag, she becomes self-reliant, raises her two children alone, and remains optimistic and positive, without self-pity. I love this kind of personality.
