The Quarrel highlights how psychological intimidation and controlling behaviour goes largely unnoticed as a form of domestic abuse. As the protagonist, Alex, is drawn into an affair with a woman facing psychologically abusive behaviour from her husband, the reader is granted a hypothetical glimpse into the experiences of the 1 in 4 women that face such abuse. Beneath the facts, and the emotional ride this book takes the reader on, The Quarrel is a modern tale of romance; it encompasses all aspects of love, betrayal and hatred, as we see the once-pure Alex turning into the abusive man he feared and despised. Contains adult themes and content.
