Still Life with Bread Crumbs by Anna Quindlen

3.0

---

A 5 is what I rate a book that has a story so compelling I want to know what happens, but its author has a way with words that lures me to savor each one and take my time so as to not rush the cooking. A 3 is what I rate a book that has a story I want to finish because of curiosity about the characters, but the tale may be predictable and the descriptions a mix of interesting and "heard it before" in some shape or form. That is how I feel about Still Life With Bread Crumbs. Thoroughly curious about the blossoming romance, the events were quite predictable, and I enjoyed the dog's perspective. A nice read on a weekend that is heading from winter towards spring.
