The Year of Magical Thinking - Joan Didion


How does she do it? Writing so simply about the recent death of her husband and serious illness of a child while conveying the great depth of emotion. The reader joins Didion as she mysteriously moves through the year following her great loss. A reflection on living and dying that is offered ever so gently. Those who have lost someone will relate often to her changes, while those who haven't will gain an understanding. A gem of a book.
