The year of magical thinking

This morning i listened to Swedish television (SVT1) where they talked about the aftermath of the 2207-tragedy in Norway. One possibility to improve the recovery process they meant was to read literature, and one book was recommended

In August 2007 a comment from "Ingvild"  on Bokkilden.no site has been translated by me:

"The year of magical thinking." is a book full of wisdom and prudence, and when it comes to topics such as death and grief recovery that is extraordinary. It is amazing how this book is personal without feeling social pornographic or too private. Joan Didion writes soberly, but nonetheless (or perhaps therefore) very intense and strong about her experiences in facing her man's illness and death. The book's strength lies clearly in the authenticity of the story, and Didion has many wise reflections to present in relation to these strong themes.
