The nomadic odyssey of Eduardo Halfon continues as he searches for
his roots through tangled childhood memories of a haunting family
tragedy International Latino Book Award Winner * Edward Lewis
Wallant Award Winner In Mourning, Eduardo Halfon's eponymous
wanderer travels to Poland, Italy, the U.S., and the Guatemalan
countryside in search of secrets he can barely name. He follows
memory's strands back to his maternal roots in Jewish Poland and to
the contradictory, forbidden stories of his father's
Lebanese-Jewish immigrant family, specifically surrounding the
long-ago childhood death by drowning of his uncle Salomon. But
what, or who, really killed Salomon? As he goes deeper, he realizes
that the truth lies buried in his own past, in the brutal Guatemala
of the 1970s and his subsequent exile to the American South.
Mourning is a subtle and stirring reflection on the formative and
destructive power of family mythology, silence, and loss.
