Times bestselling author of Rise and Shine,
Blessings, and A Short Guide to a Happy
Life
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.
