Still Life with Bread Crumbs
by Anna Quindlen
A lovely, quiet tale of a sixty-something year old photographer who finds a new start in life after moving into a rural New York cottage. Finding herself lacking in funds and no-longer the famous photographer she once was Rebecca Winter tries to save some money by leasing out her expensive Manhattan apartment and living in a ramshackle little cottage in the woods near a small New York State town. Learning to live quietly and cheaply, alone, Rebecca eventually finds lots to love about her new life.
This was a slow-build story for me, but I enjoyed the juxtaposition of Rebecca's former world with her new existence. It was great to read a story about an older lady who can be happy on her own (or with new friends) while making real art.
