Timely Novel Set in a Domestic Violence Refuge by Oldham Writer Highlights Domestic Abuse Figures
EntSun News/10795157
Jacqueline Ward, a novelist living in the 19th most deprived area in the UK, sees her psychological thriller, How to Play Dead, published. The novel, published by Corvus Atlantic Books, is set in a domestic violence refuge
MANCHESTER, England - EntSun -- Jacqueline wrote this novel loosely based on her experiences on the management board of a former women's refuge which was closed due to lack of funding in 2015. Domestic violence is experienced by one in four women in the UK in their lifetimes and two women per week (https://www.refuge.org.uk/our-work/forms-of-vio...) are killed in domestic violence incidents. The Domestic Abuse Bill 2019 (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/dome...) is currently progressing through Parliament and will be discussed further later in 2019. Greater Manchester Police's approach to tackling domestic abuse document (https://www.justiceinspectorates.gov.uk/hmicfrs...) begins with the words 'The extent and nature of domestic abuse remains shocking' and states that 6% of all calls for assistance were for domestic abuse and of these 16% were repeat offences. Oldham has recently slipped from 34th to 19th most deprived borough in the Indices of Deprivation 2019. Early reviews for the novel (https://www.netgalley.co.uk/catalog/book/167740) on expert reviewer site NetGalley have called the novel 'heart-wrenching', 'realistic', 'hard-hitting' and one that 'every woman should read'.

Writing fiction for most of her life, her last novel, Perfect Ten, focusing on gas lighting and revenge, receiving national reviews and stocked by most major supermarkets and bookshops. A registered Health Psychologist, Jacqueline writes widely about psychology and storytelling. Prior to her two-book deal with Corvus Atlantic Books, Jacqueline won US writing competition Kindle Scout and had a crime series published. She also writes short stories and screenplays.
Jacqueline said, 'I wanted to be clear about what domestic violence and control really is. Although domestic abuse a difficult subject, raising awareness of it through storytelling with fictional characters is one way that everyone can find out what really happens. The rose-coloured spectacles are off in How to Play Dead. This is the real deal.'
