Domestic violence isn’t funny. Domestic violence isn’t funny; a burial club that disposes of abusive dead husbands is, which is the reason I chuckled while reading The Best Way to Bury Your Husband. Alexia Casale’s debut novel is set in the early days of pandemic lockdown, when domestic violence cases skyrocketed. Unsurprisingly, prisons are filled with domestic violence survivors who fought back. Too often, the law protects abusive men and further endangers abused women, and the media aids and abets this abuse.
