A hypnotic novel about secrets and their possible convenience, about marriage, murder and instigation, about suspicion, speaking and remaining silent, and persuasion: about hearts so white that they slowly become stained and end up being what they never wanted to be. "I didn't want to know, but I found out that one of the girls, when she was no longer a girl and not long after she had returned from her honeymoon, went into the bathroom, stood in front of the mirror, unbuttoned her blouse, took off her bra and sought her heart with the tip of the gun..." This is the already legendary beginning of a contemporary classic, A Heart So White, whose protagonist and narrator, Juan Ranz, always prefers not to know, aware of how dangerous it is to listen: ears have no eyelids, and what reaches them is never forgotten. A professional translator and interpreter, he is now the newlywed, and on his own honeymoon, in Havana, leaning out on the balcony, he is mistaken for someone else by a stranger waiting in the street, and unwillingly overhears a hotel conversation. From then on, "presentiments of disaster" will envelop his marriage. But the key to this unease may lie in the past, for his father had to marry three times for him to be born. Reviews: "As singular as it is brilliant... An entertaining and intelligent novel." |
