About Anna...

Anna, who has always lived under the microscopic judgment of her narcissistic mother, is a Russian immigrant on the verge of turning forty and a single mother of a headstrong teenage daughter. After a life-long succession of regrettable choices and a slew of bad relationships, Anna gives up hope of finding her better half-until she meets David. Their all-consuming love seems timeless and everlasting, but both of their pasts just might destroy their future.

Set in contemporary New York City, this dysfunctional love story explores, with uncompromising candor, the nuances of human nature. Crossing generations and continents, Sophia's narrative details the joys and hardships of an immigrant renting an apartment in a shabby-chic neighborhood, where the long-buried tensions that fester among families begin to surface in unexpected ways and change the family forever.

Engrossing, unpredictable, and moving, the novel will make you laugh out loud one moment and swallow back tears the next. In the vein of Vladimir Nabokov, Mikhail Bulgakov, and Leo Tolstoy, "About Anna..." presents a rich narrative about a life in which the road to forgiveness is hard-and the path to self-acceptance is even harder. Delanner's complex characters will resonate with you long after the final page is turned.
