Description

Blue Nights: A Memoir by Joan Didion A deeply personal and moving account of Joan Didion's thoughts, fears, and doubts regarding having children, illness, and growing old. This book is a richly textured exploration of her daughter's life and her role as a parent, grappling with the candid questions that all parents face. Didion reflects on her own childhood and married life, weaving together memories of her daughter, Quintana Roo, and her husband, John Gregory Dunne, to create a haunting and profound portrait of a mother's love and loss. The result is a book of incisive and electric honesty, one that will resonate with anyone who has ever struggled to come to terms with the complexities of life and mortality.
