[QUOTE="Lourdes, post: 503400"] I did read this book and thought it a book about aging, in addition to reflections on parenting and adoption. I liked it. I also read Year of Magical Thinking which is very very good, too. If you read Magical Thinking first and then Blue Nights second it is interesting to see how she has aged and her changing thought processes and how it simplifies. You can see it in her writing style. The 2nd book is even more choppy and repetitive - for me it illustrated how one starts thinking as they get old - and she is late 70s and looks even older. Blue Nights didn't help me understand her daughter any better, but it did help me understand Joan's view of her daughter and her seemingly "chance" way she was able to adopt her. So many What If's.
