With effective, emotive accuracy, Ledger bravely explores the scope of rage, injustice, damage and sacrifice to appease and expiate the need of the perpetrator as well as the masochism of the abused - something not many have the courage to approach so openly.\"\u003cbr\u003e - Petra Whiteley, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Nomads Trail\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Moulding of Seers\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"What is immediately noticeable when reading \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eBells for Her\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e is its unflinching intimacy.
