Reviews
"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 staying power all its own." -- The New York Times Book Review "[A] wise tale about second chances, starting over, and going after what is most important in life." --Minneapolis Star Tribune "Quindlen's astute observations . . . are the sorts of details every writer and reader lives for." --Chicago Tribune "[Anna] Quindlen's seventh novel offers the literary equivalent of comfort food. . . .
