After Annie

“A master of exploring human frailty and resilience in the face of domestic tragedy, best-selling Quindlen plumbs the depths of Annie’s survivors’ individual and collective grief in scenes that are both subtle and sharp. Exquisite in its sensitivity, breathtaking in its compassion, Quindlen’s exploration of loss and renewal will provoke both weeping and wonder.”—Booklist (starred review)

“The characters in After Annie are flawed, just as each of us is flawed, and as they fumble through their grief, as they make mistakes, their lives feel so authentically lived in that I'd swear I've known them my whole life. And how I rooted for them! In Quindlen's hands, a story about the greatest of losses becomes a story of abiding hope above all. I predict this will be one of the best novels of the year.”

—Mary Beth Keane, New York Times bestselling author of Ask Again, Yes
