A review by jennifer
Blue Nights by Joan Didion

5.0

Perfect length for my flight from Seattle to L.A., except for the fact that it made me sob most of the journey. (Unfortunately it appears to only be acceptable for infants to cry on planes, although the stewardess did offer me a complimentary drink.) The book is about the death of Didion's only daughter, but I found the meditations on her own aging and declining health equally moving.
