Joan Didion's memoir The Year of Magical Thinking is an iconic account of love and loss. Shortly after its publication, Didion lost her daughter, Quintana Roo, at the age of just 39. Blue Nights opens on July 26th, 2010, the day that should have been Quintana's seventh wedding anniversary. The day triggers vivid memories of Quintana's childhood, but also reflections on Didion's role as a parent and on her own life: her doubts about having children, her thoughts and fears about illness and growing old. From one of our most powerful writers, Blue Nights is a book of incisive and electric honesty and a work of stunning frankness about losing a child.
