ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
"The Year of Magical Thinking" by Joan Didion is a deeply personal memoir that chronicles the author's journey through grief and loss following the sudden death of her husband, John Gregory Dunne. Set against the backdrop of her daughter Quintana's serious illness, the book explores the raw and disorienting experience of mourning, the struggle to comprehend the incomprehensible, and the search for meaning in the face of profound loss. Through lyrical prose and unflinching honesty, Didion captures the fragility of life, the enduring power of love, and the complexities of human connection in the face of mortality.
