“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.

评分来不及告别 你的离去 让我抱着回忆苦苦的走在人间 像痛失爱侣的狼 像孤独单飞的雁 草原变得悲凉的宽 天空已成灰色的蓝 爱 不过是碎碎念 你的名字 在心口辗转 脱口而出 浑不觉然 仿佛你还在身边 胸膛熨帖着你的侧脸 短暂的几年 用深情填满 注定 要用一生怀念
评分昨天读完了这本书的时候迷迷糊糊都要睡着了,但又有种好像躺在沙滩上被什么东西圪着似的不舒服,良久才反应过来,是因为男主角。 此前度过好几本未亡人悼念泉下人的书——叹彼下泉人,喟然伤心肝。千余年前看破世事的人都那样执着,更何况是我们这些看不破的槛内人了,但之前读...
评分念及她名。素雅的紫色。“生命里最动人的回忆,不过是些爱的碎碎念。”封面如此令人惊艳,不是么。 它也确实是些爱的碎碎念。那个鲜活的、聪明而又灵巧的女子,带给了作者那么多的回忆,只是在事后不温不火地围观的我,还会常常为它们微笑、愠怒、困惑、焦急,更何...
评分细碎但是感人
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.
