In THE YEAR OF MAGICAL THINKING, Joan Didion writes an account of her life since the 2003 death of her husband, John Gregory Dunne. Didion's grief was profound and debilitating; she and Dunne had been married for nearly 40 years, during which they were hardly ever apart. But in the course of her mourning period, she also gained crucial insights into herself, her marriage, death, and loss. Winner of the 2005 National Book Award for Nonfiction and named one of the 10 Best Books of 2005 by the New York Times.

| Author's Rating: |

Pros: Makes you hope to have someone that would miss you this much if you died.
Cons: Some people will find the way she grieves politically incorrect and sad.
Bottom Line:
Her writing is elegant and she strings her words together like a necklace of perfect pearls. That is what made this readable for me.
