The Pulitzer Prize–finalist’s intimate autobiographical novel of a wedding lower tragically quick is “a beautiful love story, and an extraordinary story of loss” (Colm Tóibín).
In 2005, celebrated novelist Francisco Goldman married Aura Estrada. The two had been deeply in love, and Aura was a gifted younger author on the cusp of her personal good profession. But whereas on trip solely a month earlier than their second anniversary, Aura died in a tragic accident. In Say Her Name, Goldman pours his emotions of affection and unspeakable grief right into a fictionalized account of their transient time collectively.
Desperate to maintain Aura alive in his reminiscence, Goldman collects every little thing he can about her, delving deeply into the writings she left behind. From her childhood and college days in Mexico City to her research at Columbia University, by the couple’s time in New York City and travels to Europe, Goldman composes a vivid and multifaceted portrait.
Filled with “propulsive drama” (The Boston Globe), Say Her Name is a tribute to who Aura Estrada was and who she would’ve been, that “will also transport you into the most primal joy in the human repertoire—the joy of loving—and reveal it with aching vibrancy” (San Francisco Chronicle).
