When I Hit You : Or, A Portrait of the Writer as a Young Wife ISBN: 9781786491268 Publication Date: 24 May 2017
Informed and inspired by her own experiences, Kandasamy's second novel is a dazzling and provocative novel of an abusive marriage.
Seduced by politics and poetry, the unnamed narrator falls in love with a university professor and agrees to be his wife, but what for her is a contract of love is for him a contract of ownership. As he sets about reducing her to his idealised version of a kept woman, bullying her out of her life as an academic and writer in the process, she attempts to push back - a resistance he resolves to break with violence and rape.
Smart, fierce and courageous When I Hit You is a dissection of what love meant, means and will come to mean when trust is undermined by violence; a brilliant, throat-tightening feminist discourse on battered faces and bruised male egos; and a scathing portrait of traditional wedlock in modern India.
