The late, great Rebecca Godfrey made a name for herself as a writer. And not just any writer—a talented wordsmith who could weave sentences together in a way that showed deep empathy for her subjects. Godfrey’s work is poetic and thoughtful, often shining a light in even the darkest situations, from a small-town murder to the tragic loss of a husband.
Godfrey died in 2022 from lung cancer, but her work lives on. Her best-known book, Under the Bridge, was recently turned into a miniseries on Hulu, starring Riley Keough as Godfrey herself, who teams up with a detective (played by Lily Gladstone) to investigate a murder. If you’ve been keeping up with Esquire’s coverage of the series, you know how much we enjoyed the heartbreaking yet enlightening tale. Aside from Under the Bridge, Godfrey penned two more compelling, essential stories. You can brush up on her collection below.
