"It happens all of a sudden, while dinner is being prepared and Joan and her husband discuss their day. He talks no more. He falls over on the floor. He dies. At the same time, their daughter is in a coma at the hospital.
The Year of Magical Thinking is a portrait of a state. Our reactions to mourning are not always rational, and often a struggle against acknowledgement rises."
