Book Review of The Year of Magical Thinking

The Year of Magical Thinking
Paul-RLT avatar reviewed on + 176 more book reviews


An honest, wrenching book by a writer who tries to deal with the critical illness of her daughter and the simultaneous sudden death of her husband (and soul-mate). The reader can actually feel her pain.
Her description of grief and its effects are very enlightening. In fact, her accounts of grief may be some of the best writing ever done on the subject.
I think this is a great book...
