Killing Her Softly refers to how batterers kill their victims, their intimate partners. This novel educates the reader about domestic violence with excellent writing and character development and she adds in some good old-fashioned, edge of your seat suspense.

I finished this book in one day it was a quick read! Killing Her Softly by Beverly Barton | NOOK Book (eBook) | Barnes & Noble® Now Spark is dead. She cannot, as she did in life, defend herself, if necessary by scaring a person into servitude—for ultimately, with few exceptions and excluding her dealings with cats, the only relationship Spark could tolerate was that of principal and agent, with herself as the mercurial principal. She is no longer the boss. We can, if we so choose, give her a murderous little shove. In her campaign to protect herself from a world populated, as she saw it, by Killing Her Softly saboteurs, bores, frauds, stranglers, plagiarists, lazyboneses, time-wasters, nosey parkers, incompetents, defamers, clingers—she arranged her affairs in a way that contrived, in fact, a series of Sparkian antagonisms and setbacks. She had a disaffected former boyfriend who sold the letters she had written him. She was thrice the victim of burglary. A servant conned her. She even managed to provoke Thor, though only to a wonderfully delicate admonishment—a lightning bolt once passed an electric current across her mouth, singeing the upper lip. In other words, Muriel Spark, who believed the worst about others, had the self-fulfilling knack of bringing out the worst in them, and it is to the credit of Martin Stannard that, in spite of his personal dealings with his subject and his complex indebtedness to her —Spark effectively handpicked her own biographer—he has produced a life story of splendid equanimity and sympathy. Or has he? See below. Before wading deeper into chronological waters, it is worth pausing to note that Muriel Killing Her Softly wrote some of the most perfect novels of the last century. Certainly, it seems wrong that two of her biggest admirers, Evelyn Waugh and Graham Greene, Catholic converts like Spark, should enjoy safer roosts in the jungle of repute. That will change, or ought to. Then again, Spark is a woman and liable to be taken for Jane rather than Tarzan. Muriel Camberg excelled academically, lucked into a teacher who would serve as a model for Jean Brodie, and developed a precociously clear sense of herself as an artist. This identity counteracted her social indistinctness, for she left school to join the vague masses of the petite bourgeoisie for whom higher education, or indeed any higher calling, was apparently not an option. She took a Killing Her Softly in business writing and at the age of 18 met Killing Her Softly future husband. The relationship, it is fair to say, did not really work out. But Solly was doomed to make bad. A math teacher too mentally unstable to hold down a job, he also revealed himself as prone to gunplay and wife-beating. Muriel found herself in the most helpless of spots: a baby son, Robin; a useless and dangerous husband; a milieu of racist, idiotic colonists; and a vocation with no outlet. Then world war broke Killing Her Softly, and she was definitively trapped—or would have been, had she Killing Her Softly been an extremist of self-determination. Spark in surreptitiously left her young son in the shaky hands of his father; sneaked off to South Africa; found, ina berth on a troop ship back to Britain, a very hazardous undertaking, what with the U-boats; and, after a brief visit to Edinburgh, traveled alone to London, where she found German bombs and work, and wrote poems.
