HTML:<b><i>New York Times Book Review</i> Editors’ Choice • “A wise and heartfelt novel of connection, of loss and love and the power of both.”—Amy Bloom,&#160;author of <i>In Love</i><br /> Anna Quindlen’s trademark wisdom on family, friendship, and the ties that bind us are at the center of this novel about the power of love to transcend loss and triumph over adversity, by the #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Still Life with Bread Crumbs</i> and <i>One True Thing</i>.<br /> “A new Anna Quindlen novel is always cause for celebration. <i>After Annie</i> might just be my favorite one yet. It’s a beautiful and deeply moving story about love, loss, friendship, marriage, family, and community from one of our wisest chroniclers of modern life. I treasured every page.”—J. Courtney Sullivan, author of <i>Friends and Strangers</i></b><br /> When Annie Brown dies suddenly, her husband, her children, and her closest friend are left to find a way forward without the woman who has been the lynchpin of all their lives. Bill is overwhelmed without his beloved wife, and Annemarie wrestles with the bad habits her best friend had helped her overcome. And Ali, the eldest of Annie’s children, has to grow up overnight, to care for her younger brothers and even her father and to puzzle out for herself many of the mysteries of adult life.<br /> Over the course of the next year what saves them all is Annie, ever-present in their minds, loving but not sentimental, caring but nobody’s fool, a voice in their heads that is funny and sharp and remarkably clear. The power she has given to those who loved her is the power to go on without her. The lesson they learn is that no one beloved is ever truly gone.<br /> Written in Quindlen’s emotionally resonant voice and with her deep and generous understanding of people, <i>After Annie</i> is about hope, and about the unexpected power of adversity to change us in profound and indelible ways.
