Black and Blue : A Novel by Anna Quindlen
Reviews:
People, Jill Smolowe :
"...Anna Quindlen demonstrates the same winning qualities that inform her journalism: close
observation, well-reasoned argument and appealing economy of language.... this portrait of a
battered woman is intimate and illuminating and, as is true of most anything Quindlen writes, well
worth the read."
Time :
"In Anna Quindlen's third novel, Black and Blue, the former New York Times columnist has caught the evil essence. If its moment should prove to be right (a long shot, to be sure), the novel is good enough to become to domestic violence what Uncle Tom's Cabin was to slavery- -a morally crystallizing act of propaganda that works because it has the ring of truth."
Synopsis:
"Fran Benedetto tells a spellbinding story of how a passionate marriage became a nightmare, andwhat finally makes her run away to start a new life with her son, under a new name. Living in fear of discovery, yet also with increasing confidence, freedom, and hope, Fran unravels the complex threads of family, identity, and desire that shape a woman's life, even as she struggles to create a new one; and Quindlen writes with depth, humor, and insight about the real lives of men and women, the varieties of love, the deep bond between mother and child, the solace of family and friendship."
Synopsis:
"A stunning novel about a marriage that begins in passion and becomes violent, by the Pulitzer
Prize-winning columnist and author of "Thinking Out Loud". After she runs away from her abusive husband, Fran Benedetto lives in fear of discovery, yet also with increasing confidence, freedom, and hope, as she struggles to create a new life for herself and her son."
