Epilogue: A Memoir

“[A] raw, painful and yet occasionally comic memoir of the year and a half following the sudden death of [Roiphe’s] husband. . . . [M]oving.” –New York Times

Anne Roiphe was not quite seventy years old when her husband of nearly forty years unexpectedly passed away. But it was not until her daughters placed a personal ad in a literary journal that Roiphe began to consider the previously unimagined possibility of a new man. Eloquent and astute, moving between heartbreaking memories of her marriage and the pressing needs of a new day-to-day routine, Epilogue takes us on her journey into the unknown world of life after love.

“In poignant flashes of everyday moments and memories, Roiphe tells an unflinching and unsentimental story of widowhood’s stupefying disquiet, of surviving love and living on.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review

“As fragile and as haunting as memory itself.” –Kirkus Reviews, starred review
