Query: The Woman Who Walked Into Doors

A very sad and depressing book. The story of Paula Spencer, old before her time, her battle with alcoholism and her life as a beaten and abused wife.There is nothing pretty about this story.

I felt for the loss of Paula's hope and dreams, her denial of what was happening to her and her solace in alcohol, anything to anaesthetise the pain.....
