This was Ms. Didion's memoir of the death of her husband and her reactions to it.

General rating: 4 out of 4. A great book.

2. Thought provoking: yes, and touching too

3. Engaging: Very

My recommendation: I loved this book. I really loved it. It was full of beautiful things. I loved her honest, clear account of her feelings and her memories. I loved the stories about her family. I really liked her style of writing. I wonder if this book would be comforting to someone who has experienced the loss of a husband or a child or even a parent. It was a great book.
