Publisher's Note
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.
With this stunning novel about a woman and a marriage that begins in passion and becomes violent, the Pulitzer Prize--winning journalist and bestselling author of One True Thing and Object Lessons moves to a new dimension as a writer of superb fiction. "If literature were judged solely by its ability to elicit strong emotions," Kirkus Reviews said about One True Thing, "columnist-c**-novelist Quindlen would win another Pulitzer." And the same will be said about Black and Blue, a brilliant novel of suspense, substance, and importance.In Black and Blue, Fran Benedetto tells a spellbinding story: how at nineteen she fell in love with Bobby Benedetto, how their passionate marriage became a nightmare, why she stayed, and what happened on the night she finally decided run away with her ten-year-old son and start a new life under a new name. Living in fear in Florida--yet with increasing confidence, freedom, and hope--Fran unravels the complex threads of family, identity, and desire that shape a womans life, even as she begins to create a new one. As Fran starts to heal from the pain of the past, she almost believes she has escaped it--that Bobby Benedetto will not find her and again provoke the complex combustion between them of attraction and destruction, lust and love.Black and Blue is a beautifully written, heart-stopping story in which Anna Quindlen writes with power, wisdom, and humor about the real lives of men and women, the varieties of people and love, the bonds between mother and child, the solace of family and friendship, the inexplicable feelings between people who are passionately connected in ways they don't understand. It is a remarkable work of fiction by the writer whom Alice Hoffman has called "a national treasure."

Industry reviews
"Sensitive, suspenseful and haunting....[An] astute, thought-provoking portrayal of one woman's battle to avoid becoming a statistic--or being viewed as one. Whether that battle is heroic or hugely misguided is a question that will linger with the reader long after the final chapter's close."
San Francisco Chronicle Book Review - Autumn Stephens (01/25/1998)

"Battered wives, unfortunately, are a staple of daytime talk shows and made-for-television movies. To make Fran's mundane misery matter to us, Ms. Quindlen, paradoxically, must pull all the rabbits out of her writer's magic hat. As our narrator, Fran recounts her days in such richly textured language that we taste the peanut butter (no jelly) sandwiches she prepares for Robert; we smell, with despair, the moldy carpeting in her Florida apartment....Fran's precise, mesmerizing narrative makes readers understand her deep connection with [her abusive husband]. Her descriptions of Bobby's rages are truly scary...and yet her yearning to stay with him also makes frightening sense."
New York Times - Maureen Corrigan (02/06/1998)

"I read 'Black and Blue' from beginning to end in one insomniac sitting."
Salon - Laura Green (02/10/1998)

"[U]nfortunately the novel is nowhere near as convincing as the news reports all of us have seen on television. But it does keep the reader anxiously turning pages."
New York Times Book Review - Maggie Paley (02/08/1998)

"...Quindlen now takes a talk-show staple--spousal abuse--and gives it a compelling immediacy in a refreshingly wise and truth-telling novel about life and marriage....A book to read and savor."
Kirkus Reviews  (01/01/1998)
