Lucy's desperate struggles against her husband's brutality see her emerge as a highly educated and enlightened woman ready to take on the world. While her trials are not easy, her path to success makes for a most gratifying and uplifting read. The reviews are in on The Beast in the Man I Married: "A fast-paced, action-packed description of the daily marital life of a too familiar heroine, representing a quintessential African woman. … Her resilience in the face of adversity is the bedrock of this novel. A must-read, a great narrative indeed." – Yaah Maggie Kilo, Ph.D., Educator "In this spellbinding novel, Meye presents a woman who emerges from the battlefield of domestic violence completely bloodied but unbowed. The hauntingly disturbing story keeps readers on the edge, until the brutalized victim, through sheer force of resilience and unshakable faith in her personal worth, breaks through the glass ceiling that domestic violence has imposed on her, by clenching a diploma that opens doors of freedom she never thought she could enter. … A must read!" – Martin Jumbam, author of Beads of Memory and From the Highlands of Nkar to the World "The Beast gives the reader insight into a woman's plight in a society caught between modern women's empowerment and perpetually patriarchal tradition. Meye paints a detailed, authentic picture that allows you to empathize with and pray for the protagonist and her children." – Debora Johnson-Ross, Ph.D., VP for Academic Affairs/Dean of the Faculty, www.wartburg.edu About the Author: Born in Cameroon, Victoria Meye holds bachelor's, master's and Ph.D. degrees in African literature from the University of Yaoundé 1 in Cameroon.
