Hi guys, have you all come across any novels in which there is intergenerational trauma of domestic violence and/or marital rape. So basically, books in which the grandmother was abused, and the mother was abused, and the daughter might be vulnerable to it. Think of Beloved by Toni Morrison, Sethe and Sethe's mother both were the victims of trauma in the context of slavery, and Denver had to suffer herself due to this intergenerational trauma. I want similar thing of trauma in three successive generations but in a domestic setting and not something systemic like slavery. I would appreciate any recommendations. Thanks!

Fall on Your Knees. Its very well-written and might meet some of your expectations–it left me just completely aghast/bewildered for months.
