About this product
Product Information
NATIONAL BOOK AWARD WINNER * NATIONAL BESTSELLER * From one of America's iconic writers, a stunning book of electric honesty and passion that explores an intensely personal yet universal experience: a portrait of a marriage-and a life, in good times and bad-that will speak to anyone who has ever loved a husband or wife or child. Several days before Christmas 2003, John Gregory Dunne and Joan Didion saw their only daughter, Quintana, fall ill with what seemed at first flu, then pneumonia, then complete septic shock. She was put into an induced coma and placed on life support. Days later-the night before New Year's Eve-the Dunnes were just sitting down to dinner after visiting the hospital when John Gregory Dunne suffered a massive and fatal coronary. In a second, this close, symbiotic partnership of forty years was over. Four weeks later, their daughter pulled through. Two months after that, arriving at LAX, she collapsed and underwent six hours of brain surgery at UCLA Medical Center to relieve a massive hematoma. This powerful book is Didion' s attempt to make sense of the weeks and then months that cut loose any fixed idea I ever had about death, about illness ... about marriage and children and memory ... about the shallowness of sanity, about life itself.Product Identifiers

Joan Dideon
I found the content tedious but well written. I watched a very interesting documentary on Joan Dideons life which prompted me to buy the book.However she is well considered as an author so I shall not give up, and try another book of hers.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great book
Such an honest and heartfelt account of a really terrible time. Really outlines the gamut of emotions when someone close to you dies. Sad but brilliantly written.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
