When Annie Brown, a fun-loving woman, suddenly dies, her husband, best friend, and her children all struggle to find ways to go on after the loss of the woman who was the center of their lives, and who made life happy, fun, and secure.
[A] quietly revelatory and gently gleaming gem of a book ... The very best thing about this book might be the way Quindlen, an anthropologist of domesticity, catalogs the sparklingly random moments that make up human experience ... After Annie is the quietest kind of story about everyone trying to figure out what they had and who they are now.
