One of my favourite Spanish authors.
For the sweepstake Home sweet home

English version of " Así empieza lo malo" by the Spanish author Javier Marías.

"Thus bad begins tells the intimate story of a marriage of many years, narrated by his young witness when he is already a fully grown man. Juan de Vere finds his first job as personal secretary of Eduardo Muriel, a long-time successful film director, in Madrid in 1980. His work allows him to enter the privacy of the family home and be a spectator of the mysterious misery between Muriel and his wife Beatriz Noguera.

Muriel instructs him to investigate and elicit a half-life friend, Dr. Jorge Van Vechten, whose rude behavior has led to rumors in the past. But Juan will not limit himself to that and will take dubious initiatives, because, as he himself recognizes from his mature age, - young people have their soul and conscience postponed. Thus you will discover that there is no disinterested justice, but that it is always contaminated by personal resentment and by one's own desires, and that all forgiveness or punishment is arbitrary."

Congrats!
