It Doesn't Hurt That Much

More about the book

Detective Chief Inspector Jane Brando is interviewing a suspected rapist. As a near victim of rape, she has her own views on the matter and a means of proving the case. Maria, maimed by her parents to make her a ‘subnormal', earns her living as a beggar and thief, selecting her victims with care. Beatrice's best friend, Jessica, who suffers from bipolar disorder, tries to stir problems with Beatrice at her wedding. The increasingly sinister stories make us wonder how these realities may play a role in our own lives.
