Black and Blue

Kirkus Reviews called One True Thing a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and bestselling author of Object Lessons and When Bad Things Happen to Good People. With Black and Blue, a stunning novel about a woman and a marriage that begins in passion and becomes violent, Quindlen moves to a new dimension as a writer of superb fiction. If literature were judged solely on the ability to elicit strong emotions, this fine novel of suspense, substance, and importance would win another Pulitzer.
