Diane Rehm Book Club: "After Annie" by Anna Quindlen

For Diane's May Book Club, she is joined by Anna Quindlen for a conversation about her novel, "After Annie."
When Annie Brown dies suddenly, her husband, her four young children, and her closest friend are left to struggle without the woman who centered their lives. It is Annie’s daughter, Ali, who is forced to care for her younger brothers, and even her father, as the family tries to maintain some semblance of their former existence.
The story follows the characters over a year, through their memories and grief, to reveal what it means to continue living after the loss of a mother, a wife, and a best friend.
