This powerful and moving work is Didion's "attempt to make sense of the weeks and then months that cut loose any fixed idea I ever had about death, about illness . . . about marriage and children and memory . . . about the shallowness of sanity, about life itself." With vulnerability and passion, Joan Didion explores an intensely personal yet universal experience of love and loss. THE YEAR OF MAGICAL THINKING will speak directly to anyone who has ever loved a husband, wife, or child. Average Rating:

Rating: - So BeautifulI've read this book a couple of times now and I am certain I will revisit it every couple of years because it is amazingly well written and emotionally so real. I read a few of the negative reviews of this book and was kind of mystified by them, the main criticism is that segments of the book are disjointed and draft-like, but that is actually partly the point of the book. This element reflects how loss of this magnitude jars human thoughts and behavior; in this case, how it forced a pattern of repetitive ... Read More Rating: - Before the Moving On Begins This is a memoir told by writer Joan Didion on life immediately after the death of her husband, John Gregory Donne. (The book has been adapted into a one-woman broadway play as well.) In the book, Joan Didion writes as if she's thinking out loud. You can tell that the story is written for herself as if therapeutic and not for the sole purpose of selling a book, full of honesty and humility. When I was reading it, I wondered about the author's purpose for writing, thinking that it must be (for ... Read More
