“This is a beautiful love story, and an extraordinary story of loss. Say Her Name has a forensic honesty, a way of treating each detail, each moment, each emotion, with detailed and exact care. It also has a way of holding the reader, of moving between Brooklyn and Mexico City, capturing the essence of two worlds, capturing the essence of two people who were lucky enough to fall in love.”—Colm Toibin

In 2005, celebrated novelist Francisco Goldman married a beautiful young writer named Aura Estrada in a romantic Mexican hacienda. The month before their second anniversary, during a long-awaited holiday, Aura broke her neck while body surfing. Francisco, blamed for Aura’s death by her family and blaming himself, wanted to die, too. Instead, he wrote Say Her Name, a novel chronicling his great love and unspeakable loss, tracking the stages of grief when pure love gives way to bottomless pain.
Suddenly a widower, Goldman collects everything he can about his wife, hungry to keep Aura alive with every memory. From her childhood and university days in Mexico City with her fiercely devoted mother to her studies at Columbia University, through their newlywed years in New York City and travels to Mexico and Europe—and always through the prism of her gifted writings—Goldman seeks her essence and grieves her loss. Humor leavens the pain as he lives through the madness of grief and creates a living portrait of a love as joyous as it is deep and profound.
Say Her Name is a love story, a bold inquiry into destiny and accountability, and a tribute to Aura, who she was and who she would've been.
果真如书面上强调的,“爱的碎碎念”。 一个鳏夫对亡妻生平的回忆,想到哪里写到哪里。很细碎很细碎。 如果归类,这种爱的回忆,应该是属于符合我口味的。如《巴别塔之犬》就看得我的情绪跌荡起伏。为什么这本书我居然看不下去了。好几次,合上书本放回架上,换了其他书看,因...
评分弗朗西斯科·高德曼的《念及她名》满书都是对至爱奥拉的追念,往事最堪伤,有着林觉民《与妻书》洞然悲伤,感人不已。柔情絮语中是眷恋在回忆的梦境中不可自拔。高德曼跌入回忆,无处不伤心,知道已经错过了很多,知道自己还是无奈,而且,他也知道他们和他一样无奈。这是多么...
评分如果你很爱一个人,却迫不得已与他或她分开。你说我选择坚持到底要在一起,你肯定忘记有一种力量在冥冥中早已注定,它来自于意外或是疾病,它叫死亡。 面对死亡,你会怎样?你会像《在瑞士的日子》里特纳老太太吗?独自站在空旷的庭院里仰望苍天恸哭呼喊死去的丈夫:没有你的...
评分I was intrigued by the sincerity of the author's love story at first and a little disgust by his subtle complaining toward his mother-in-law. He may have a problem with her, but hey, you really have to attack a childless single mom in your book and make her infamous in everyone's mind read this book? The author obiviously don't have a big heart.
