New York Times Bestseller • "Quindlen’s talent lies in making you live through her characters’ experiences. . . . Radiant with vitality, hope, and the strength of love." —People (Book of the Week Pick)

"A subtly revealing and gently sparkling masterpiece." —The New York Times Book Review (Editors’ Choice)

In "After Annie," Anna Quindlen showcases her signature insight into family, friendship, and the bonds that connect us. This novel explores love’s power to overcome loss and triumph over hardship, from the celebrated author of "Still Life with Bread Crumbs" and "One True Thing."

The sudden death of Annie Brown leaves her husband, children, and best friend grappling with life without their central figure. Bill is lost without his beloved wife, Annemarie struggles with habits Annie helped her overcome, and Ali, Annie’s eldest, must mature quickly to care for her younger siblings and father while navigating the complexities of adulthood.

Throughout the following year, Annie’s enduring presence in their memories provides them with the strength to move forward. Her influence remains vivid—wise, loving, clear-headed—reminding them that those we cherish are never truly gone.

With Quindlen’s emotionally rich prose and profound understanding of human nature, "After Annie" is a tale of hope and the transformative power of facing adversity.
