This is a pretty amazing book if you are a Didion fan. As her notes from her therapist sessions, there is a lot of flashbacks to her past and family life. A significant portion around her daughter, and smaller bit on her husband.

There are occasional footnotes to identify the other people mentioned, some of which are pretty famous or well-known.

It's clear from these one-sided notes from her sessions that she was a bothered soul. Exquisite prose and writing though. Obviously she had a lot of practice.

The book would be a good read for anyone interested in her life as a result of her work. For others, it may just seem like a one sided therapist log. I enjoyed it.
