A gripping book. I found it un-putdownable. Only someone insensitive and clueless about grief could call it self-absorbed. I've recommended it to many friends, and they've also found it absorbing. The phenomenon of thinking that the lost person will somehow come back is known to many of us. Didion has lived a long and fascinating life, and she has an ability to write about her life, and life itself, in a way that I find irresistible. I highly recommend this book to conscious readers who seek depth of understanding.
