Praise for Still Life with Bread Crumbs “There comes a moment in every novelist’s career when she.

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.

The protagonist’s photographs are celebrated for turning the ‘minutiae of women’s lives into unforgettable images,’ and Quindlen does the same here with her enveloping, sure-handed storytelling.” — People “Charming. A hot cup of tea of a story, smooth and comforting about the vulnerabilities of growing older. First I have to say that I love Anna Quindlen. Maybe it is because we are of a similar generation, maybe it is because we both share Italian heritage and growing up Catholic but whatever the reason, when I read her work I feel like I am reading my own mail!

So I was thrilled to have an opportunity to read an ARC of her new novel, 'Still Life with Bread Crumbs.' While this novel does not have the 'punch' of some of her other works, it was a very familiar and comfortable read. It is a story of a woman.a story of a woman who has passed her prime and is still trying to figure out who she is.a story of a woman who continues to try to stay open to whatever life brings.

It is a story about possibility, and new beginnings, and simpler days, and being comfortable in your own skin. It is advertised as a love story and while it does involve a romance with a younger man, that is not the core. The core message seems to me to be 'we are a continual work in progress.we are not set in stone.and the excitement and spirit of life is to be not turn away in fear when life shoots us curves, but to continue to move forward and in the process to continue to become. Self-discovery is something to be embraced. Her main character, Rebecca Winters, is such a woman. Though she is sixty and her professional career as a professional photographer seems on the decline, she is still involved in 'coming of age!'

Trying to find ways to stay financially afloat while she figures out how to boost her bank account, she ventures into new territory, leaving her familiar life in NYC and moving to a remote rural town, living in a run-down house 'Fully furnished. And fending for herself in strange and challenging conditions. It is also a story about humankind and the longings for connectedness that exist inside each of us and how we are not always able to verbalize or act on those longings. I savored the writing and the author's ability to find just the right words and phrases to speak a woman's heart. At the end, I gently closed the book and said.thank you.

When I was describing this book to a friend, I likened it to a 'lovely, cozy sweater'. From the very first words, the story enveloped me in lovely images and interesting characters. None completely unique, but familiar without being stereotypical. The main character is Rebecca Winter - whose life has not turned out at all the way she'd thought, and throughout the course of 'Still Life with Bread Crumbs', the reader experiences her transformation to a life that contained evenings like: 'After everyone had staggered away tipsy into the night, calling compliments on the osso bucco (in the freezer for exactly this purpose) and the flourless chocolate cake (ditto) over their tweedy shoulders, Peter had gone right to bed, once again confident that a kitchen magically cleaned itself sometime in the witching hours between brandy and breakfast.'

And, 'She had imagined she would have nice long conversations with Peter after they were married, but it hard turned out that marriage in the circles in New York in which they traveled consisted of men who pontificated publicly, and the women who let their faces go still while they did so.' To a life where 'She knew exactly what a gunshot sounded like now. She knew that it was more than a sound, that it was like thunder or a breaking glass, something you felt inside.' When confronted by the harsh realities of difficult financial circumstances and ailing parents, Rebecca is forced to make choices she never expected. She moves from New York, where she lives alone (yet is never truly alone) - to a cottage far away from the city and from other people. Those people she does encounter are also unlike anyone she's known.

These new people, this unfamiliar place, change Rebecca in numerous ways. '.when she really thought about it she realized she'd been becoming different people for as long as she could remember but had never really noticed, or had put it down to moods, or marriage, or motherhood. The problem was that she'd thought that at a certain point she would be a finished product.'

(Now she wasn't sure what that might be, especially when she considered how sure she had been about it various times in the past, and how wrong she'd been.' I only put this book down to try and prolong the reading of it. I loved these characters, the prose, and the experience of reading this book and was very sorry when it ended. Anna Quindlen has done a masterful job of portraying a woman at the age of sixty rediscovering herself as she looks back at a life filled with personal disappointment and waning professional success. As a revered photographer, Rebecca's once notable work is no longer able to sustain her financially, so she sub-lets her luxurious Manhattan apartment and rents a modest cabin in a rural setting. There she discovers much she didn't know about herself and a world beyond New York City, including a late-in-life love.

The company released one last patch before it died out, sadly its was for the German version only, the patch is still somewhere on the interwebs, try googling 'Diggles Myth of Fenris German Patch'. Diggles (released as Wiggles in Europe) is an ambitious, unique, and charming RTS that is ultimately bogged down with too much micro-management and snail-like pace to have a long-term appeal. The plot is set in Norse mythology, although with a more tongue-in-cheek flavor than the usual fare: Fenris, the dog of Odin, has escaped and is wreaking havoc in the underworld.

Though somewhat predictable in terms of plot, the character development makes this engaging book well worth reading. Still Life With Breadcrumbs by Anna Quindlen is a book to watch for as it becomes available in January 2014. Quindlen masterfully captures a woman coming into her own, the best part is that this is not a coming of age story, but rather a woman in her 60s, a new twist and one that works quite well for Quindlen who proceeds to create a beautiful, flowing story, which will engage readers and stay with them long after the book is finished. I highly recommend Still Life With Breadcrumbs for book discussion groups. I've long been a fan of Anna Quindlen. In fact, I have all of her books. So I was excited to get this advanced copy of her novel, Still Life with Bread Crumbs.

I thought it was a wonderfully engaging novel. It's about a 60-year old woman named Rebecca Winter, who is a famous photographer. She's at somewhat of a crossroads in her life, her career is somewhat waning so she's gone to live in a cabin in the woods to save some money. In this setting, she discovers a simpler, quieter, more fulfilling life than her life in New York City. Quindlen is a beautiful writer and she writes with such honesty. I truly enjoyed this book.
