Joan Didion was far from being a young girl when her husband died suddenly in front of her of a massive heart attack. It was already a very difficult time for her because their only daughter was lying unconscious in hospital. She, who has been writing words all her life, finds herself utterly at a loss as to how to express her feelings. A very simple and very moving book.
