Alfred, Tom and Gordon are strangers, yet they share a terrible secret ... they are being abused by their wives. Men Cry Alone will make you think of domestic violence in a way that you have never done before.
Men Cry Alone is a controversial novel that explores two areas of domestic violence that are rarely acknowledged openly – that of men being the victims and that of people who are experiencing this because their partner has dementia.
Although the subject regularly receives a high profile in the media, for those on the receiving end it is a shameful situation that most victims hesitate to reveal outside the home. Generally, men are even less likely than women to admit publicly that such a thing is happening, while a partner of someone with dementia may not even recognise the reality of what they are facing.
Men Cry Alone will open your eyes to many forms of controlling and aggressive behaviour within the home that can so easily be minimised, dismissed or passed off as ‘normal’.
Genre: Literary Fiction
