About Book

The Year of Magical Thinking was named by the National Book Award jury as a masterpiece of two genres: memoir and investigative journalism. Didion methodically recounts one year of her life following the death of her husband. She attempts to answer questions about death, her daughter’s illness, and the time they spent together; she candidly shares thoughts that may seem irrational at first glance—thoughts that only a grieving mind can produce and understand.

The Year of Magical Thinking is an unforgettable book in which the author transforms a deeply personal tragedy into a universal human experience through sincere and honest storytelling.
