Depois de Annie
Aqueles que amamos nunca nos deixam por completo. Contada através dos olhos de Ali, Bill e Annemarie, a história acompanha a luta de cada um para encontrar o caminho da reconstrução das suas vidas, à medida que tentam manter viva a memória de Annie. Quando Annie Brown morre de forma súbita, o mundo desaba para aqueles que a amavam. O marido, Bill, fica à deriva com quatro filhos pequenos. Annemarie, a melhor amiga, vê-se a resvalar para antigos vícios. E Ali, a filha mais velha, é empurrada para uma maturidade precoce, tentando cuidar dos irmãos e do pai, enquanto lida com as exigências da vida adulta. Com delicadeza e honestidade, a história explora os laços da família, a força da amizade e o modo como a perda pode iluminar o que é verdadeiramente essencial. Depois de Annie é um retrato comovente da capacidade de reconstrução e da beleza inesperada que, por vezes, nasce do luto.

Morzsás csendélet
Rebecca hatvanéves, már nem sokat vár az élettől, mígnem... Valamikor híres fényképész volt, de mintha elapadt volna az ihlete, és amúgy is csökken a kereslet a képeire. Ott találja magát, ahol annyian a kortársai közül: a fia még rászorul (mert dolgozik ugyan, de ha pénzre van szüksége, hozzá fordul), a férje viszont elhagyta. Édesanyja öregek otthonában él, és még mindig híres zongoristának hiszi magát... Hogy anyagi gondjait megoldja, bérbe adja drága New York-i lakását, és kiköltözik vidékre. A házat fényképről választotta, és elképedten látja, mennyire rozoga. Meglepetésként éri az élővilág jelenléte is: mosómedve a padláson, kutya az ajtó előtt, csippel ellátott ragadozómadarak a magasles körül. A kisváros kedvesen, de némi gyanakvással fogadja a hírességet, Rebecca meg nem tudja eldönteni, lehet-e élni egyáltalán ilyen messze New Yorktól. De aztán talál új fényképtémát, új ügynököt, lesz új kiállítása... És megismerkedik egy férfival, aki látszólag egyáltalán nem illik hozzá. Hiszen csak egy tetőfedő... Az Amerikában és még számos országban régóta népszerű Anna Quindlen felejthetetlen regényt írt az élet hétköznapi csodáiról - meg az újrakezdésről, amiről annyian álmodozunk. „Egy csésze forró tea ez a regény, selymes és vigasztaló...” (USA Today)

Nature morte aux miettes de pain

Nature morte aux miettes de pain
Roman plein d''élégance, d''optimisme et de charme, l''émouvant portrait d''une femme qui pensait avoir remisé son cœur et son art au placard. Mais dans la campagne américaine, la vie est pleine de surprises, et les passions, souvent imprévisibles. Quitter New York : l''idée n''emballe pas Rebecca Winter, mais la photographe n''a plus le choix. Une carrière au point mort, des parents malades, un fils dont elle assume chaque déboire : Rebecca doit partir à la campagne, essayer de faire des économies en attendant de renouer avec le succès rencontré trente ans plus tôt, avec sa célèbre photo, Nature morte aux miettes de pain. Seule dans ce cottage plus proche de la cabane de jardin que d''une vraie maison, Rebecca panique : un raton laveur dans le grenier, ce toit qui prend l''eau ? Pourra-t-elle jamais survivre en province ? Mais bientôt, la farouche Rebecca se découvre de nouveaux amis : Sarah, la bavarde et sympathique pâtissière ; Jim, le charpentier ornithologue, qu''elle assiste dans ses observations de rapaces. Un homme de quarante ans, très secret, doté d''un magnétisme formidable auquel Rebecca n''est pas insensible. Et au contact de cette nature splendide, l''inspiration ne tarde pas à refaire surface... Et si à soixante ans, Rebecca pouvait encore se faire surprendre par la vie ? Et s''il ne tenait qu''à elle de lever la tête de son objectif, de sortir de cette Nature morte qui la retient prisonnière, d''oser s''ouvrir à nouveau à la vie ?

Life with Beau

release date: Jun 30, 2011
Life with Beau
What started as an ode to Quindlen''s aging black Labrador in her Newsweek column has become a life-affirming short book about happiness, in the tradition of A SHORT GUIDE TO A HAPPY LIFE and BEING PERFECT. In this wise little book, Anna Quindlen writes: "The life of a good dog is like the life of a good person, only shorter, more compressed." Quindlen continues, with her trademark wonderful writing, sound wisdom and humor, to explain how her life has unfolded in tandem with Beau, and how she''s learned how to enjoy life, in the simplest of ways, by watching him. She writes, "When I was a mixed-breed puppy, I could never have imagined how simple and basic contentment could be. And that''s what I''ve learned from watching Beau: to roll with the punches, to take things as they come, to measure myself not in terms of the past or the future but of the present, to raise my nose in the air from time to time and, at least metaphorically, holler, "I smell bacon!"

After Annie
"When Annie Brown dies suddenly, her husband, her children, and her closest friend are left to find a way forward without the woman who has been the linchpin of all their lives. Bill is overwhelmed without his beloved wife, and Annemarie wrestles with the bad habits her best friend had helped her overcome. And Ali, the eldest of Annie''s children, has to grow up overnight, to care for her younger brothers and even her father and to puzzle out for herself many of the mysteries of adult life. Over the course of the next year what saves them all is Annie, ever-present in their minds, loving but not sentimental, caring but nobody''s fool, a voice in their heads that is funny and sharp and remarkably clear. The power she has given to those who loved her is the power to go on without her. The lesson they learn is that no one beloved is ever truly gone"--Cover.

There she discovers, in a tree stand with a roofer named Jim Bates, that what she sees through a camera lens is not all there is to life."--Publisher.
