This is an entry from my diary. Please check it and correct any mistakes.
I just finished reading a thriller called “The Housemaid”. The book is about a woman called Nina trying to get rid of her psychopath husband by looking for a replacement for herself - a housemaid. Nina has been tortured by her husband, and he once nearly killed his nonbiological daughter. He locks Nina up out of many trivial reasons. For example, she forgot to dye her roots so there were two colours on her hair, and he found it unacceptable. As a punishment, he locked her up and demanded her to pull out 100 pieces of hair before letting her out. Another punishment was given to the housemaid. She forgot to put back his books to the bookshelves after reading them. Therefore, he locked her up and asked her to lie down and put three books on her belly for three hours. He wanted her to feel the heaviness he bore when he held the books to the bookshelves. I wonder how the author could come up these kind of punishments. They’re cruel but at some point I find them amused because they’re too ridiculous!
