A Book of Common Prayer
A Book of Common Prayer | Joan Didion
4 posts | 9 read | 19 to read
Writing with the telegraphic swiftness and microscopic sensitivity that have made her one of our most distinguished journalists, Joan Didion creates a shimmering novel of innocence and evil.A Book of Common Prayer is the story of two American women in the derelict Central American nation of Boca Grande. Grace Strasser-Mendana controls much of the country's wealth and knows virtually all of its secrets; Charlotte Douglas knows far too little. "Immaculate of history, innocent of politics," she has come to Boca Grande vaguely and vainly hoping to be reunited with her fugitive daughter. As imagined by Didion, her fate is at once utterly particular and fearfully emblematic of an age of conscienceless authority and unfathomable violence.From the Trade Paperback edition.

Trying to gently bring myself back to reading to help the old mental health. I‘ve been gone from Litsy a lot recently but I‘m trying to be properly back now 💖 I always come back!

Joan Didion is probably my favourite writer of all time and an easy person to come back to. May have investigated getting a framed photo of her for my room lol.

Anyone else in danger of losing their job atm? Nasty times ahead, makes it difficult to focus 😐

AmyG She is a favorite, too....such a brilliant writer. And, yes, especially today....I am having a hard time concentrating. 4y
Eggs This is a Didion I have not read-must read! Sorry to hear of your job/no job stress 😞 These are trying times. ((((Hugs)))) 4y
Smrloomis Sending good thoughts too 🥺🤗🤗🤗 4y

I've been looking forward to reading this for a while. I saw it at the top of a shelf at A Capella Books in Atlanta, slightly torn and faded, amongst brand new books. I was too short to reach it, so I had my tall friend grab it for me. I feel nervous reading books by people I greatly admire. I don't want to miss or misinterpret anything.

So I started a new book at lunch time today. I am not really familiar with Joan Didion. Anyone have any thoughts about her work? Only read a few pages of this, but it seems good so far. #newreads #lunchreading
