Still Life With Bread Crumbs




New York City is a great place to live if you have the money to enjoy what the city has to offer.  There are great restaurants, coffee shops, theater and yes pizza and bagels. Rebecca is a photographer who one day after getting a sick child to fall asleep and preparing dinner for unexpected guests falls asleep on the couch.  She does not clean the remnants of the dinner party that evening.  When she wakes up she sees the aftermath of the dinner in a completely different way and captures it all on film.  The collection sky rockets her to fame and fortune.  This allows her to live in a manner to which she quickly becomes accustomed . 

Fame, she soon finds out, only last so long.  Lacking inspiration and the funds to support her life style, she sublets her apartment and goes to live in a house in the middle of nowhere. There she experiences a re-awakening. 

I really enjoyed this book.  I was familiar with her writing having red her novel Black and Blue which I found to be a very moving story.  Give this one a try.
