In this unflinching memoir, Joan Didion chronicles the sudden death of her husband, John Gregory Dunne, and the concurrent, life-threatening illness of their daughter. Through a precise and detached prose style, Didion examines the irrationality of grief and the psychological mechanisms of denial that follow profound personal loss. The work serves as both a clinical observation of bereavement and a deeply intimate portrait of a long-term marriage.
