A review by elsaschuster
The Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion

emotional reflective sad fast-paced

5.0

I don’t know what I was expecting from this book. I don’t remember why it was on my ‘to read’ list, and I didn’t read anything about it before jumping in. 

What a beautifully and matter-of-factly written account of grief and of a very difficult time in the authors life. I still don’t really know what to make of it, but I read it in a single sitting and I anticipate that I will be thinking about it for days or weeks to come.
