Courtney Sullivan, author of Friends and Strangers

‘The characters in After Annie are flawed, just as each of us is flawed, and as they fumble through their grief, as they make mistakes, their lives feel so authentically lived-in that I’d swear I’ve known them my whole life. And how I rooted for them! In Anna Quindlen’s hands, a story about the greatest of losses becomes a story of abiding hope above all. I predict this will be one of the best novels of the year’ Mary Beth Keane, author of Ask Again, Yes

‘Luminous with life, hope and the power of love’ People Magazine
'The lesson Quindlen offers is universal and incontrovertible: love and memories are powerful antidotes to grief... Another acute portrait of family life from a virtuoso of the form' Publishers Weekly
