In a fictionalized memoir, author Goldman details his meeting, courtship and marriage to the much younger author Aura Estrada. In spite of their age differences, the two had were kindred spirits and had a successful marriage. Just before their second anniversary, Aura is killed in a surfing accident while in Mexico and Goldman must rebuild his life without the woman whom he had grown to love so fiercely in such a short period of time, with such passion he often feels he will never heal. Told in the form of a novel to protect the couple’s friends and family, and to preserve some of the intimacy the couple shared, you will quickly forget that you are not reading the biography of a great love story. Goldman’s language is beautiful, story told with an elegant gentleness, that slowly reveals a poignant and heartbreaking tale.
