Kudos is the third book in a trilogy about a writer, Faye, the people she meets, and the conversations that are had. In this book Faye flies to Europe to undertake a book tour for her recently published novel.
[Trigger Warning: Domestic Violence]
The focus of
the novel is not on domestic violence, but it contains a conversation which
describes coercive control in the context of a divorced couple and their son.
The father uses his contact with the son to continue his abuse of his former
wife, knowing that his poor parenting will cause her unease every time the son
goes to stay with him. The husband also took all the photographs from the
marriage – as if to take her history, or to ensure there was no evidence in the
photographs which would contradict his version of how the marriage had played
out. Either way – controlling the narrative and her past.
