The Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion
Joan Didion delivers a searing portrait of a marriage and a life ā in good times and bad ā that will speak to anyone who has ever loved and lost a husband or wife or child. In a work of electric honesty and passion, Didion explores how we all, somehow, will ourselves to survive. āAn utterly shattering portrait of loss and grief.ā āThe New York Times
Several days before Christmas 2003, John Gregory Dunne and Joan Didion saw their only daughter, Quintana Roo, fall ill with septic shock. She was put into an induced coma and placed on life support. Days later, the Dunnes were sitting down to dinner after visiting their daughter in the hospital when John suffered a fatal heart attack. In that one moment, their partnership of forty years came to an end.
This powerful narrative is Didion's āattempt to make sense of the weeks and then months that cut loose any fixed idea I ever had about death, about illnessā¦about marriage and children and memoryā¦about the shallowness of sanity, about life itself.ā
