Review:
"THE BUTCHER'S WIFE may be the most frightening book ever written about women oppressed by men, or any helpless victim snuffed out by an uncaring society.' - LA TIMES 'Li Ang's novel may start in a feminist rage against male oppression, but it goes much further than that.' - TLS 'Completely convincing.' - SUNDAY TIMES 'The story never loses the readers sympathy by descending into overkill or sentiment... THE BUTCHER'S WIFE is mesmeric and unflinching.' - GUARDIAN
