From the inside jacket:
My name is Paula Spencer. I am thirty nine years old. It was my birthday last week. I was married for eighteen years. My husband died last year... He was shot by the Guards. He left me a year before that. I threw him out. His name was Charles Spencer; everybody called him Charlo.
The heartrending story of a woman struggling to reclaim her dignity after marriage to an abusive husband and a worsening drinking problem. Paula Spencer recalls her contented childhood, the audacity she learned as a teenager, the exhilaration of her romance with
Charlo, and the marriage to him that left her powerless. Capturing both her vulnerability and her strength, Doyle gives Paula a voice that is real and unforgettable.
