The truce

A novel about loneliness and lack of communication, love and sexuality, death and political problems.

Martín Santomé, a widower with three children, on the eve of his retirement, begins to record his gray and uneventful life in a diary. The daily routine of the office and a disjointed and tense home will be altered when the young Laura Avellaneda, his new employee, bursts into his routine. And this man, almost without intending to, decides to open a luminous parenthesis in his life.

La tregua has been translated into dozens of languages and has been adapted for film, television, theater, and radio, but above all, it has enjoyed an exceptional reception from readers worldwide.
