Volume two of Javier Marías's acclaimed and evocative novel in parts.

The first volume of Javier Marías's novel in parts saw Jacques Deza questioning the morality of his position in an undercover network under the enigmatic Bertram Tupra. When Deza is forced to witness an act of unexpected brutality, he is shaken to his core. Witnessing this event triggers memories from the horrors of the Spanish Civil War, and as Deza's situation becomes increasingly suffocating, Marías creates a gripping exploration of man's capability for violence.
