Acerca de esta escucha

When celebrated writer Joan Didion’s life was altered forever, she wrote a new chapter. In this adaptation of her iconic memoir, Didion transforms the story of the shattering loss of her husband and their daughter into a one-woman play performed by Tony Award winner Vanessa Redgrave, who originated the role on Broadway in 2007. Written with Didion’s trademark style of cool observation, The Year of Magical Thinking weaves back and forth in time, taking listeners on a poignant journey through heartbreak, grief, and resilience. It’s an unforgettable theatrical experience that resonates with anyone who has ever loved.

Featured Article: Comforting Audiobooks About Grief and Loss That Actually Help


When it comes to the death of a loved one, there is no easy path forward. Grieving can place significant mental strain on those who are mourning. And because everyone grieves a little differently, it can be hard to know where to turn for help, or what to say to someone who is in the throes of grief. Audiobooks on grief can offer insight to those looking for ways to support the mourning, or a bit of comfort for anyone struggling with loss themselves.

Such a poignant, sensitive sharing of unimaginable loss.
It felt like a person close to me were sharing her experiences, thoughts & feelings.

Surprised by it’s creative approach

I really wanted to like this, but the way Vanessa Redgrave portrays Joan Didion was distracting. The accent, the feeble sound of her voice, just didn’t feel like Joan Didion to me. However, it’s a beautifully written script.

Performance ruined it for me

Thank you for sharing your story Joan. Vanessa did a wonderful job. It was very moving.

Beautiful and heart wrenching.

I think it almost unfair for me to rate this when I must admit that I experienced reliving my personal suffering because of it. Devastating loss of all forms changes everything from that instant it lands at your feet. You’re never the same. Not even remotely. Maybe to others externally, but inside yourself ... never. Didion’s descriptions touched well on much of the “magical” (I can feel the resentment that occupies me over the use of that term as if it’s a pleasurable experience) thinking that one does. It is admirable that she described grieving so eloquently, yet I can’t stress enough how triggering it will be.

Lyrical and yet...

A very good dramatization of Joan Didion's memoir of extreme loss. The book is so much richer though. Still recommended though. If you enjoy this, read the full book.

Very good, not as rich as the whole book

Best story about dealing with grief I have heard. Of course Ms. Redgrave is fabulous as the reader.

it tags at your heart strings.

I don’t know which I was more drawn into, Didion’s recounting of her husband and daughter’s illness and death or Vanessa Redgrave s reading. Both complemented each other and made the story, the experience, well, magical. Not in a “happy” magic way of course but more in the way that magic happens through communication. I felt my own losses so beautifully expressed and for an hour and a half was transported.

Mesmerizing!

The year of magical thinking is a well done performance by Vanessa Redgrave—-an intimate novella about the author’s family’s medical tragedies.

Emotional
