John Gregory Dunne and Joan Didion saw their daughter fall ill. At first they thought it was a flu, then she was placed on life support. Days later, The Dunnes were sitting down to dinner when John suffered a massive fatal coronary.
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'. The result is a personal yet universal portrait of marriage and life, in good times and bad, from one of the defining voices of American literature.
