From one of America's iconic writers, a portrait of a marriage and a life -- in good times and bad -- that will speak to anyone who has ever loved a husband or wife or child. A stunning book of electric honesty and passion. Several days before Christmas 2003, John Gregory Dunne and Joan Didion saw their only daughter, Quintana, fall ill. At first they thought it was flu, then pneumonia, then complete sceptic shock. She was put into an induced coma and placed on life support. Days later -- the night before New Year's Eve --the Dunnes were just sitting down to dinner after visiting the hospital when John suffered a massive and fatal coronary. In a second, this close, symbiotic partnership of 40 years was over. Four weeks later, their daughter pulled through. Two months after that, arriving at LA airport, she collapsed and underwent six hours of brain surgery at UCLA Medical Centre to relieve a massive hematoma. 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 ! about marriage and children and memory ! about the shallowness of sanity, about life itself'. The result is an exploration of an intensely personal yet universal experience: a portrait of a marriage, and a life, in good times and bad.

非常成熟的文笔，无须华丽的辞藻，就能将浓郁的感情传达出来。

太棒了。震惊于这本书的语言之平实流畅，感情之深沉婉转。以前总以为用最繁复的语句才能描写最深的感情，原来是我错了。在这本连定语从句都不多见的书里，我感受到了对亡夫最深沉的爱与怀念。

一.作者唯一的养女因为肺炎入院，之后又引起败血性休克，不久后相伴四十年的丈夫猝然长逝，一年中她深深感到无力和不真实，在一次次对痛苦和生死的剖析中无数次闪回从前的记忆 二.作者语言平淡但感情激荡，没有写爱却把“死生契阔，与子成说”刻画得入木三分，不禁让我想起《我们仨》中钱钟书先生所说：“从今以后，咱们只有死别，不再生离。”
