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

challenging dark emotional informative reflective relaxing sad tense medium-paced

4.25

Didion’s narrative style combined with snippets of scientific articles and quotes from all kinds of people creates an authentic and exquisite take on grief, mourning and love. Her view of independence of one and dependence on another draws the reader into the story and creates an intimate bond between them and the author. Stunning writing with every word carefully picked.
