Memorial Days
Book • 2022
In 'Memorial Days', Geraldine Brooks reflects on her marriage to Tony Horwitz, a fellow journalist who died suddenly in 2019.
The memoir delves into their life together, from their early years as foreign correspondents to their settled life on Martha’s Vineyard.
After Tony’s death, Brooks grapples with the immediate demands of grief and eventually finds solace on a remote island off the coast of Australia, where she ponders various cultural grief rituals and seeks to rebuild her life around the void left by his passing.
The book is a poignant exploration of love, grief, and the journey towards healing and peace.
