Newly married Juan Ranz digs into his family's troubled past beginning with the suicide of his father's first wife, Juan's aunt, and finds parallels in his relationships marked by miscommunication and the need for human contact.
Review:
"...Marias is interested not so much in the violent death or the adulterous love affair itself as in how we think and feel about such events when we contemplate them before hand or consider them afterward....Marias's challenging and seductive technique reaches its pinnacle in A HEART SO WHITE...."
Wendy Lesser, New York Times Book Review, 05/06/2001
Review:"[A HEART SO WHITE]...has brought Marías the applause of many..., and is considered his best work. It might well be: It is an anti-detective story about genealogy and sin."
Ilan Stavans, Nation, 03/19/2001

A Heart So White (Hardback) (ISBN: 9780811214520) Marias, Javier;Costa, Margaret Jull Quantity Available: 1
Book Description: New Directions Publishing Corporation, 2001. Hardback. Book Condition: New. 211 x 143 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. Javier Marias's A Heart So White chronicles with unnerving insistence 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 on to the costs of ambivalence. ("My hands are of your colour; but I shame/To wear a heart so white" Shakespeare's Macbeth.).
