Publisher Description: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - NATIONAL BOOK AWARD WINNER - A landmark work about grief, love, and survival from one of America's most iconic writers
One of The New York Times's 100 Best Books of the 21st Century - One of The Guardian's 100 Best Books of the 21st Century
Joan Didion delivers a searing portrait of a marriage and a life - in good times and bad - that will speak to anyone who has ever loved and lost a husband or wife or child. In a work of electric honesty and passion, Didion explores how we all, somehow, will ourselves to survive. "An utterly shattering portrait of loss and grief." -The New York Times Several days before Christmas 2003, John Gregory Dunne and Joan Didion saw their only daughter, Quintana Roo, fall ill with septic shock. She was put into an induced coma and placed on life support. Days later, the Dunnes were sitting down to dinner after visiting their daughter in the hospital when John suffered a fatal heart attack. In that one moment, their partnership of forty years came to an end. This powerful narrative is Didion's "attempt to make sense of the weeks and then months that cut loose any fixed idea I ever had about death, about illness...about marriage and children and memory...about the shallowness of sanity, about life itself." "Didion has transformed grief into literature." --The Guardian
