Blue Nights
From one of the most brilliant authors in the literary world, a work of astonishing candour about the loss of a daughter.
Filled with memories of her own childhood and her married life with her husband, John Gregory Dunne, and their daughter, Quintana Roo, Joan Didion’s new book is an intense and moving account of her thoughts, fears, and doubts about motherhood, illness, and ageing.
As she reflects on her daughter’s life and her role as a mother, Didion grapples with the doubts all parents face and contemplates her age, something she finds difficult to admit and still harder to accept.
Blue Nights—the long nights when the twilights stretch long and blue and signal the summer solstice, “the opposite of death, the clarity, but also its warning,” as in The Year of Magical Thinking—this is an iconic book of incisive, electric honesty, memorable and profound.
