Query: Black and Blue Made Me Blue Too

As painful as being beaten by your husband must be, reading this book about it hurt too. Anna Quindlan harps on and on about the same issues over and over and over again. The woman's new life and the life that she subjects her poor son too are so depressing and bleak that it's hard to see the light. I felt like I was reading a documentary rather than a novel. If the author wanted to get a point across she should have done so through a voice that is less stuck in the past, less self-absorbed, less pathetic really. Finishing this book made me feel black and blue. Leave this one on the shelf.
