 Anna Quindlen writes in the first person about personal crisis. In Black and Blue she is a young mother who loses herself in a new identity to avoid her abusive husband, Bobby Benedetto, who becomes more murderous with each alcoholic fit.
Fran from Brooklyn could live with narrow escapes, but the terror of leaving her son alone with Bobby in the event of murder motivates Fran. Seeking the help of a protection agency, she relocates and becomes Beth from Florida. Loneliness and a loss of identity and belonging bring Beth and the reader to a harrowing realization of the dysfunctional tie that binds her to Benedetto. This book should be required reading for students who have perspective careers in sociology and psychology.
