A superb love story from the #1 New York Times bestselling author Anna Quindlen
Still Life with Bread Crumbs begins with an imagined gunshot and ends with a new tin roof. Between the two is a wry and knowing portrait of Rebecca Winter, a photographer whose work made her an unlikely heroine for many women. Her career is now descendent, her bank balance shaky, and she has fled the city for the middle of nowhere. 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.
Brilliantly written, powerfully observed, Still Life with Bread Crumbs is a deeply moving and often very funny story of unexpected love, and a stunningly crafted journey into the life of a woman, her heart, her mind, her days, as she discovers that life is a story with many levels, a story that is longer and more exciting than she ever imagined.

“Sixty-year-old Rebecca Winters is having a midlife crisis. Once an
iconic photographer, her fame, and sales, have diminished over the
years, and money problems have reached a crisis point…Narrator MacDuffie perfectly conveys Rebecca’s
worries and self-doubt, her increasing attraction to Jim, and her
ultimate sense of confidence and peace. She also creates memorable and
believable voices for the other characters—particularly for garrulous
Sarah (a village baker) and manly Jim.”
