lwspotts 's review for:
Black and Blue
by Anna Quindlen
Enjoyable read, and though I didn't particularly like the ending, I did wonder if it was somewhat realistic of women in Franny/Beth's situation. The disappointing part for me was that in the end, she never came across as a strong woman, even though she took steps to get control of her life. Her efforts seemed halfhearted in a lot of ways. Again, maybe it's a realistic portrayal of a battered wife, but it frustrated me that she finally made the decision to leave, and then she didn't seem to TRULY commit to it.
