From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Horse comes a heartrending and beautiful memoir about the sudden loss of her husband and her journey towards peace.In their early years together, Geraldine Brooks and Tony Horwitz were foreign correspondents reporting in conflict zones. They eventually settled down to raise two boys on Martha’s Vineyard. The life they built was one of meaningful work, good humor, and tenderness, as they spent their days writing and their evenings cooking family dinners or watching the sunset with friends at the beach. But all of this ended abruptly when, on Memorial Day 2019, Geraldine received the phone call we all dread. Tony – just 60 years old and, to her knowledge, vigorous and healthy – collapsed and died on a Washington, D. C. sidewalk.
A spare and profoundly moving memoir that joins the classics of the genre, Memorial Days is a portrait of a larger-than-life man and a timeless love between souls that exquisitely captures the joy, agony, and mystery of life.
