A HEART SO WHITE
JAVIER MARÍAS
‘The most subtle and gifted writer in contemporary Spanish literature’ Boston Globe
In the middle of a family lunch Teresa, just married, goes to the bathroom, unbuttons her blouse and shoots herself in the heart. What made her kill herself immediately after her honeymoon? Years later, this mystery fascinates the young newlywed Juan, whose father was married to Teresa before he married Juan’s mother. As Juan edges closer to the truth, he begins to question his own relationships, and whether he really wants to know what happened. Haunting and unsettling, A Heart So White is a breathtaking portrayal of two generations, two marriages, the relentless power of the past and the terrible price of knowledge.

TOMORROW IN THE BATTLE THINK ON ME
JAVIER MARÍAS
‘Marías writes with elegance, wit and masterful suspense’ The Times Literary Supplement
Victor, a ghostwriter, is just about to have an affair with Marta, a married woman, when – in the bedroom, half-undressed – she drops dead in his arms. He panics and slips away. But Marta’s family are all too aware that she was not alone when she died, and Deán, the widowed husband, is determined to find out who was sharing her bed that night . Victor, accustomed to a life of pretending, finds that he cannot live in the shadows forever. Tomorrow in the Battle Think on Me is a gripping and moving meditation on the hold that the dead have over the living.

ALL SOULS
JAVIER MARÍAS
‘A dazzling example of the Oxford novel, with all the ingenuity and the humour and the nostalgia we could hope for’ The Times Literary Supplement
The pretty young tutor Clare Bayes attracts many eyes at an Oxford college dinner, not least those of a visiting Spanish lecturer (desperate to escape his conversation with an obese economist about an eighteenth-century cider tax). As they begin an affair, meeting in hotel bedrooms away from the eyes of Clare’s husband, the Spaniard finds himself increasingly drawn into the strange world of Oxford, ‘one of the cities in the world where the least work gets done’, in a story of lust, loneliness, vanity and memory. Filled with brilliant set pieces and pin-sharp observation, All Souls is a masterpiece of black humour.
