THE YEAR OF MAGICAL THINKING

Life can change in an instant, but love endures through the magical thinking of the heart
As one of America’s most perceptive novelists and essayists, Joan Didion had often examined suffering with her firm, analytical gaze and her well-developed sense for the cruel ironies of life. Then, within a year, her beloved husband and her only child died, and the suffering she found herself examining in appalled fascination was her own.
Cruel lessons. Based on Joan Didion’s best-selling memoir, The Year of Magical Thinking is a journey from contentment into the dark underworld of grief, anger and bewilderment, and beyond.
