“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.
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 評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...
評分在地域广阔的中国,送别亡者的葬礼形式繁多,用放声大哭来宣泄内心的悲哀,表达对亲人的不舍,特别是在许多乡村,哭声越大,表明亡者生前的威望越高,亲人的怀念越深。葬礼结束后,亲人会把亡者的照片摆放在家中一角,点两盏长明灯,逢年过节供些水果点心,讲几句贴心的话,许...

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.
评分I like the final chapters better.
评分太瑣碎瑣碎瑣碎又太細膩細膩細膩,如果不是audiobook肯定看不下來,但聽著耳邊碎碎念那麼多迴憶的片段,卻又那麼感同身受
评分這種瑣碎深情的文總是讓人昏昏欲睡啊。。。
评分點滴蓄積著傷痛以及釋懷。
