The Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion - A Short Summary & Review

Image
A short summary of the book The Year of Magical Thinking: How Joan survived grief and loss. My favorite Joan Didion quote from the book: "Grief turns out to be a place none of us know until we reach it." Questions to ponder while reading The Year of Magical Thinking: Can etiquette get you through anything? Do you envy them their marriage? My review of the book: I love her language.
