A review by emegallego
Blue Nights by Joan Didion

3.0

More than a book about the loss of a child, it is about aging (which ultimately leads to illness and loss). I always enjoy Didion's writing style, but overall, this book felt less cohesive than "The year of magical thinking". Maybe it was the intention, to make the reader feel as lost as Didion felt during those terrible times, to give you a glimpse into how the mind of a person under such sadness works.
