About this book
Joan Didion's memoir records the year after her husband, the writer John Gregory Dunne, died suddenly of a heart attack in December 2003, while their only daughter lay gravely ill in hospital. Didion examines grief as she lived it, including the irrational belief that he might come back, and combines her own notes with reading on mourning and medicine. The Year of Magical Thinking, published in 2005, won the National Book Award for nonfiction.
