A review by claralilja
Where I Was from by Joan Didion

informative reflective sad slow-paced

4.25

The ending broke me. Miss Joan has such a way with words that she can make the most boring thing seem interesting and weave it into a beautiful portrait of American life. I loved the stories about the crossings, Lakewood, and the last part about death of her parents (even though it will keep me up tonight). I love everything this woman writes, but she I don’t know if it was really necessary to put all the technical details about the airplanes in the book. I am a Joan Didion stan until death.
