Courtney SullivanA story of abiding hope Mary Beth Keane When Annie Brown dies suddenly, her husband, her four young children and her closest friend are left to struggle without the woman who centred their lives. Bill Brown finds himself overwhelmed, and Annies best friend Annemarie is lost to old bad habits without Annies support. It is Annies daughter, Ali, forced to try to care for her younger brothers and even her father, who manages to maintain some semblance of their former lives for them all, and who confronts the complicated truths of adulthood. Yet over the course of the next year, while Annie looms large in their memories, all three are able to grow, to change, even to become stronger and more sure of themselves. The enduring power Annie gave to those who loved her is the power to love, and to go on without her. Written in Quindlens emotionally resonant voice, and with her deep and generous understanding of people, After Annie is a story that ends with hope, a beautiful novel about how adversity can change us in profound ways.

I treasured every page J. Courtney Sullivan, author of Friends and Strangers After Annie is a novel about loss – and yet its pages are full of life and heart. With her deft interiority and spot-on depiction of the small moments that bring characters to life, Anna Quindlen tells a family story thats at once candid and complex – and ultimately quite hopeful Claire Lombardo, author of The Most Fun We Ever Had 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 Id swear Ive known them my whole life. And how I rooted for them! In Anna Quindlens 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, author of Ask Again, Yes A master of exploring human frailty and resilience in the face of domestic tragedy, best-selling Quindlen plumbs the depths of Annies survivors individual and collective grief in scenes that are both subtle and sharp.
