After Annie
by Anna Quindlen
Annie, a young mother of four, dies suddenly in the first chapter. The story unfolds through the voices of her husband, Bill, her best friend, Anne Marie, and her 13-year-old daughter, Ali. We get to know Annie through her loved ones and their stories. Quindlen's characters are well-defined, and the author allows them to work through their grief. The story ends on a hopeful note. It is a sad read but well-written and worth reading.
