Her Name Was Always August is a collection of twenty elegiac short stories that dwell in the fragile spaces between memory, love, and silence. Set in moments that slip by like passing trains, each story explores the delicate architecture of heartbreak and fleeting human connection.

Told with melancholic elegance and quiet emotional force, these narratives unfold through lyrical prose and symbolic imagery—rain, letters, unspoken words, and stars—capturing the ache of what remains unsaid. Whether it's a woman revisiting the scent of a past lover's shirt or the echo of a goodbye whispered too late, these stories do not shout; they breathe.

For readers of reflective literary fiction, Her Name Was Always August offers not resolutions, but reverberations—intimate portraits of love lost, remembered, and relived.
