Where other books about r**e imagine what a world without violence might look like, Her body, their Laws describes the reality of what the world looks like through the eyes of a survivor.
Winner of the African Book Award, Chris Okobah, writes a book that changed the conversation about domestic violence, r**e and abortion happening behind closed doors.
Chris explores the real roots of violence, its far reaching consequences for society, and what it will take to truly address it.
A necessary and interesting novel on a topic that is often shrouded in silence. An immersive, literary thriller, richly evocative of its time. This book is a moving novel that attempts to accurately and sympathetically portray the heart of women hurt by abortion and r**e. In this unforgettable and haunting novel, Chris incisively examines the power of storytelling to influence thought and behaviour, reaching a chilling conclusion.
