Synopsis
A married woman whose husband is in London invites another man for dinner. The woman falls ill and dies before becoming the man's lover. ?Javier Mar?as writes with elegance, with wit and with masterful suspense, and yet for all this assurance, it is the profound ontological uncertainty at the heart of his work which makes it at once so unsettling and so true??Michael Kerrigan, The Times Literary Supplement.
