Black And Blue

"Black and Blue" by Anna Quindlen, published by Windmill Books. Black and Blue is a beautifully written, heart-stopping story in which Anna Quindlen writes with power, wisdom, and humour about the real lives of men and women, the varieties of people and love and the inexplicable feelings between people who are passionately connected in ways they don't understand.“Intimate and illuminating and, as is true of most anything Quindlen writes, well worth the read.” - PeopleFor eighteen years Fran Benedetto kept her secret and hid her bruises. She stayed with Bobby because she wanted her son to have a father and because she loved him despite everything. Then one night, when she saw the look on her ten-year-old son’s face, Fran finally made a choice - and ran for both their lives. Now she is starting over in a city far from home, far from Bobby. Bobby always said he would never let her go, and despite the ingenuity of her escape, Fran Benedetto is certain of one thing: It is only a matter of time.''Quindlen writes about women as they really are, neither helpless victims nor angry polemicists, but intelligent human beings struggling to do what's right for those they love and for themselves. A book to read and savour.'' - Kirkus Reviews Book details: 252 pages, published 2011. Order now on BookShops.in with fast, reliable delivery across India.
