Winner of the IMPAC Dublin Award, and widely considered Javier
Marias's masterpiece, "A Heart So White "is a breathtaking novel
about family secrets that chronicles the relentless power of the
past.
Juan knows little of the interior life of his father Ranz; but when
Juan marries, he begins to consider the past anew, and begins to
ponder what he doesn't really want to know. Secrecy--its possible
convenience, its price, and even its civility--hovers throughout
the novel. A Heart So White becomes a sort of anti-detective story
of human nature. Intrigue; the sins of the father; the fraudulent
and the genuine; marriage and strange repetitions of violence:
Marias elegantly sends shafts of inquisitory light into shadows and
onto the costs of ambivalence.
