Book Group: Feb 2015

Book: Still Life With Bread Crumbs
Author: Anna Quindlen
Group meeting: Tuesday, Feb 17, 2015 at Jean's
Dessert: Bread pudding with whiskey sauce and pecans. Yum.

60-year-old NYC photographer retreats alone to the woods and falls in love with her roofer, a younger man. I thought I would dislike the book but actually loved it. Quick read, fun characters, and bigger themes than the first sentence suggests: personal expression/style, luxury vs. sparsity, level of caring/help for family, juggling the finances of three generations. Worked for me. Loved the dog! Quindlen is a great storyteller.
