[tps_title]The Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion – 2005[/tps_title]

So much can happen in one year: marriage, the birth of children, a new job opportunity, even death. Joan Didion’s novel brings readers to understand how to cope and get through abrupt unfortunate happenings, by using her life as an example.

Excerpt: “ We are not idealized wild things. We are imperfect mortal beings, aware of that mortality even as we push it away, failed by our very complication, so wired that when we mourn our losses we also mourn, for better or for worse, ourselves. As we were. As we are no longer. As we will one day not be at all.”
