STILL LIFE WITH BREAD CRUMBS by Anna Quindlen - SIGNED FIRST EDITION BOOKSee all titles by Anna Quindlen.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.
Praise for Still Life with Bread Crumbs
“There comes a moment in every
novelist’s career when she . . . ventures into new territory, breaking
free into a marriage of tone and style, of plot and characterization,
that’s utterly her own. Anna Quindlen’s marvelous romantic comedy of
manners is just such a book. . . . Taken as a whole, Quindlen’s writings
represent a generous and moving interrogation of women’s experience
across the lines of class and race. . . . [Still Life with Bread Crumbs]
proves all the more moving because of its light, sophisticated humor.
Quindlen’s least overtly political novel, it packs perhaps the most
serious punch. . . . Quindlen has delivered a novel that will have a
staying power all its own.”—The New York Times Book Review
“Charming . . . a hot cup of tea of a story, smooth and comforting
about the vulnerabilities of growing older . . . a pleasure.”—USA Today
