Whispers is a 1993 domestic violence novel written by Belva Plain.
It takes place in Connecticut, where the young and naïve secretary Lynn falls in love with the ambitious and handsome executive Robert. Robert seems like a marvelous partner at first, but has occasional violent outbursts. The novel brings into question whether it is okay for a partner to hit their significant other if it is only "every now and then".
