Still Life With Bread Crumbs
January 2014 - Random House

A superb love story from Anna Quindlen, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Rise and Shine, Blessings, and A Short Guide to a Happy Life

Still Life with Bread Crumbs begins with an imagined gunshot and ends with a new tin roof. Between the two is a wry and knowing portrait of Rebecca Winter, a photographer whose work made her an unlikely heroine for many women. Her career is now descendent, her bank balance shaky, and she has fled the city for the middle of nowhere. There she discovers, in a tree stand with a roofer named Jim Bates, that what she sees through a camera lens is not all there is to life.

Brilliantly written, powerfully observed, Still Life with Bread Crumbs is a deeply moving and often very funny story of unexpected love, and a stunningly crafted journey into the life of a woman, her heart, her mind, her days, as she discovers that life is a story with many levels, a story that is longer and more exciting than she ever imagined.

  6. Can't wait for this! At the RH OPen House last fall, Quindlen talked about working on her final edits. I'm glad it's ready to go. I usually prefer the UK covers, but I like the US version this time.

  8. I have not read any Anna Quindlen, but have several on my TBR list. I guess I had better get busy, judging from the comments here. I think I like the UK cover best.

  12. I have read every single one of Anna Quindlen's books, even the non-fictions and memoirs, so I am psyched to see a new book on the horizon from her. Thanks so much for pointing this one out to us.
