A review by dudette
The Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion
emotional
informative
sad
fast-paced
3.0
Not exactly what I imagined. Half of the book is about her daughter's illness which is tragic and I understand that it all happened in the "year of magical thinking" but I was more interested in the mourning process. The other half about marriage and life was more powerful and I wished for more of it.
