“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.
琐碎的生活,零散的回忆,却表现得如此细腻,他是在把自己对忘妻的真情,一滴不漏搜集齐了再一一回放。这是一本爱的小说,似乎是作者一个人在自言自语,又分明是两人世界的幸福天地,你观看的过程中无法插话,却也无法停止那默默的注视,就这样怔怔地看着他们的爱情故事,从开...
評分当与挚爱之人阴阳相隔,我们到底有多少勇气念念不忘。 抑或因为春末夏初的季节缘故,抑或因为难得的假日,这个飘雨下午完全不显得那么惆怅,也不如往日阴雨一样沉闷,倒多了些静静的感觉。半日的光阴,泡在文轩读了一部分,渐渐开始怀疑自己是否有足够的勇气把整本书读完。不是...
評分喜欢看故事情节的我其实一开始并不喜欢这本书:什么嘛,女主都死了有啥好看的,直到我看到一句话。 在书的第一节,女主生前曾说过:我结婚可不是为了一个人吃午饭,我结婚可不是为了一个人过日子。第二节中,作者忆起妻子,想着自己在厨房里看着妻子坐在门外防火梯上的椅子上看...
評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...
評分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...
