Black and Blue by Anna Quindlen
3.0
When I was a freshman in high school, I was on the speech team and my speech for the year was a portion of Anna Quindlen's commencement address at Mount Holyoke. I gave the driest and most pathetic version of this address imaginable. I also knew she was a writer but hadn't read any of Quindlen's books. I found this one on the side of the road recently and decided I should probably read one.
Pace-wise, this was great. I expected it to slog more because of the size of the book, but it kept moving and that was good. I think the ending was a little too quick to wrap everything up, though. But it's really hard to wrap things up nicely in a story about domestic abuse.
I'll probably read more Quindlen in the future.
