The Year of Magical Thinking

From: $4.21

From one of America’s iconic writers, a stunning book of electric honesty and passion. Joan Didion explores an intensely personal yet universal experience: a portrait of a marriage--and a life, in good times and bad--that will speak to anyone who has ever loved a husband or wife or child.

From: Amazon Posted: Dec 05, 2007 Type: User Review Joan Didion's book

It saddens me deeply to see anyone suffer loss of loved ones. This book travels the gamut of sorrow in a way that is not common. Ms Didion is unable to bleed all over herself in public and only God knows how she behaved in private. It was obvious...

From: Amazon Posted: Nov 20, 2007 Type: User Review Just a personal record of grief

I don't think Ms Didion intended this as a roadmap for dealing with grief; just a very personal record of how she dealt with it. I recently lost my wonderful mother, and maybe that explains why I found it engrossing. I just couldn't put it down....
