‘With Blue Nights, named for the intense and portentous beauty of the dying light, Ms Didion has translated the sad hum of her thoughts onto a profound mediation on mortality. The result aches with wisdom’ Economist
‘Searingly honest about the extended nightmare of losing a child’ Financial Times
‘Memory is the subject of her latest book, Blue Nights; its power and its pain and, in Didion’s recollection of her now lost motherhood and marriage, its shimmering, unreachable beauty... she shows us, without hope but finally unafraid, that all days must end’ The Times
‘One of the supreme observers of American life’ Daily Express
‘The relentless questions betray a palpable strain, Didion is aware of this- it’s part of the book’s point. It’s searing mainly for what this venerated US writer hasn’t been able to put into words’ Metro
‘like nothing else Didon has written... Yet how else could she write such a book, in such a moment?... Lays bare an anguish that that infects her every waking moment’ New Statesman
‘This is an honest and sympathetic study of bereavement, bereft of self pity, a genuine search for an answer to an imponderable question’ Jeffery Taylor, Sunday Express
‘a searing poignancy...there is something epic about the scale of Joan Didion’s misfortune...[Blue Nights] has an indomitable quality: a steely willingness to recollect past happiness in present adversity – the deepest of all sorrows, according to Dante – which it is impossible not to admire.’ Jane Shilling, Daily Telegraph
