The Year of Magical Thinking

Location2nd Floor Humanities
RatingHighly Recommended
Book ReviewI love Joan Didion. I would read lab reports, if she wrote them. Her writing is magical to me. But this book was tough one, about the loss of both her husband and daughter. I always root for Joan, but this book highlights the fact that neither wealth nor talent can shield you from these losses.
