Rose Daniels has spent 14 years of her life in a very abusive marriage. Until one day, she spots a drop of blood on her pillow. In that moment, her entire life is changed. She leaves her husband and travels 800 miles on a bus. In a pawnshop she discovers a painting that calls out to her. She starts her life over, but will it be enough to put Norman behind her?
This novel was very easy to read and sometimes I just didn't want to put it down! It is a very absorbing story and you just want to keep on reading to find out what happens next!
I thought Rose Madder was very well thought out and believable. There are so many stories of women who are subjected to this kind of domestic abuse, although unfortunately not all that many with a happy ending. I liked the Daughters and Sisters and was glad they could help Rose.
The only thing I thought was a little weird was the painting. In such a real world story I felt it was a bit out of place. That's not to say it wasn't enjoyable, it was just unexpected. It's so dark in a different way from the rest of the novel.
It was definitely an interesting read!
