Description
'Extraordinary . . . [No Visible Bruises] takes apart the myths that surround domestic violence. . . In its
scope and seriousness--its palpable desire to spur change--this book invites reflection not only about
violence but about writing itself . . . [Snyder] brings all of fictionâ€s techniques to this new book--canny
pacing, an eye for the animating detail and bursts of quick, confident characterization. There is a fullness and
density to every one of her subjects . . . She glides from history to the present day, from scene to
analysis, with a relaxed virtuosity that filled me with admiration. This is a writer using every tool at
her disposal to make this story come alive, to make it matter.' - Parul Sehgal, New York Times,
“Editors' Choice―“[Snyder] has written a book about everything: about men who beat and kill
their wives or girlfriends; about people who work to predict murder, and those who try to heal the abusers;
and also, deeply, about gender, poverty, depression, despair, privilege, law enforcement, incarceration,
justice, mental health, and politics . . . It takes a writer of uncommon talent and confidence to pull this off.
Snyderâ€s stories are about people, every single one of whom is drawn empathically. Her
investigation is intellectual and unsparingly complex.― - Masha Gessen, New Yorker's 'Page-Turner'
blog'Compulsively readable . . . In a writing style thatâ€s as gripping as good fiction, as intimate as
memoir and deeply informed, [Snyder] takes us into the lives of the abused, the abusers and the survivors.
. . The stories are devastating, but Snyder keeps us reading by pointing us toward possible solutions
. . . After a few chapters, I was telling a prosecutor friend that everyone in her office--no, everyone in the
state who deals with family violence--had to read this book. Because it will save lives.' - The Washington
Post'Powerful . . . Snyder exposes this hidden crisis by combining her own careful analysis with deeply
upsetting and thoughtfully told accounts of the victims . . . [An] important book.' - New York Times
Book Review'Gut-wrenching, required reading.' - Esquire,“Best of the Year―'Snyder [goes] both
wide and deep . . . her empathy for the victims is powerful, and infectious. But so is her interest in the
perpetrators, some of whom may be able to recover, to change and atone. And as she makes very clear,
those who undertake reform -- studying and quantifying risk, asking smart questions about whether
womenâ€s shelters help or hurt, counseling survivors and getting them the support they need -- are
heroes.' - Los Angeles Times'A brilliant work . . . what makes it move with the suspense of a beach novel
is Snyderâ€s passionate storytelling, [which] often soars to the point of lyricism but remains
unfailingly honest.' - Ms. Magazine'Should be required reading for lawmakers across the country
.' - Minneapolis Star Tribune'A powerful exploration of the sinister, insidious nature of domestic violence in
America… Bracing and gut-wrenching, with slivers of hope throughout, this is exemplary, moving
reportage on an important subject that often remains in the dark due to shame and/or fear.' - Kirkus
Reviews, starred review'[A] powerful investigation into intimate partner abuse . . . with closely observed,
compassionate portraits of victims, advocates, abusers and police. Penetrating and wise, and written in
