About this listen

A story of an abused woman's journey through life, from the dreary post-war days to the present day. She struggles with her narcissistic husband at home. She also faces issues during her employment with a retail giant that portrays a wholesome public image, masking the corruption within, including Green Teeth, Mrs. Hitler, Pocket Billiards, Cockers, Giant, Disciplinarian, and Sparkle Pants.

She then has to fight both her abusive husband and her employer through the courts to protect her teenage children and herself.

Culminating in her escape to a life that's safe and free in her own home while reflecting on how much she has achieved in her 16 years of freedom since leaving her abusive husband, she was tinged with a little sorrow that she had not had the courage to leave her old life sooner, as she knows things could have been so different.

An unbelievably well written account of a person’s humble beginnings through travesty of their personal and working life. Such courage and tenacity. A lot to be said for the suits that run the retail sector. Typical bullies, favouritism and lack of injustice, just goes to show how bad it can be. The author not only survived the brutality of an abusive marriage, diminishing job roles and debilitating health challenges. She was still able to support her children through it all with resounding resilience. Respect to her as she was able to let go of all the negativity, unfairness and grief which is why she is now at peace. Karma will always prevail.

Tenacity, patience and resilience.

It was realistic. I found it repetitive and the curious style of “I did not”, “he had not” rather that didn’t and hadn’t made it sound like a sermon.
