Anna Quindlen returns to memoir with ‘Lots of Candles’

Quindlen

Recently, Anna Quindlen has been focusing on fiction—but readers are sure to rejoice when they hear that the former Newsweek and New York Times columnist will be chronicling her own life once again this May in Lots of Candles, Plenty of Cake (Random House).

It’s described as “a memoir of how life looks to a woman in her 50s”—we’re imagining a book that blends the laughs of I Feel Bad About My Neck, with the soul of Anne Lamott.  More from the publisher:

Marriage, girlfriends, kids, your mother, faith, possessions, solitude, and more—like her other nonfiction and her original New York Times column, “Life in the 30s,” this book gives us the heartfelt, insightful, wise Quindlen, the one who says for us what we wish we could have said ourselves.

Will you be looking for this memoir come May?

    I will be looking forward to it. I have read all of her fiction . I think her memoir will be good. I will try it anyway.

    It’s going to be great, like all the books. I loved A short Guide To A Happy Life, Being Perfect, and How Reading Changed My Life, + all the fiction. Great news! Thanks for telling!
