Domestic Abuse In Now Is Everything By Amy Giles

In Amy Giles’ novel, Now is Everything, Giles distinctly portrays how domestic abuse can take a toll on a person. I feel that she makes the reader fully aware that abuse of any kind, whether it be emotional or physical, is a substantial issue all over the world.
Victims of abuse shouldn’t feel embarrassed or anxious to come forward about it, and that is the painfully clear message that Giles is sending to her readers. From my point of view, for her not having a personal encounter with abuse, Giles unveiled to the audience the actuality of living in a home with an abusive father, and a mother who is not willing to put an end to it. Despite that the characters are in fact fictional, the reader feels personally connected to them.
