The Book "Love Affair" by Javier Marias

In this profound and incredibly gripping novel, Javier Marías invites us to reflect on love and falling in love. They say that love and falling in love are the source of creation and happiness, that love justifies everything and everyone, but is this really so? And if the answer to love is love, then how can we kill for it, betray ourselves and our loved ones, make others unhappy and make them suffer? The novel is also about sin and guilt, about conscience, but also about the ruthlessness of facts, about the futility of the return of the dead and their impossibility of coexistence with the living, about the impossibility of fully knowing the truth and ourselves. If the answer to love is love, then what is the answer to betrayal, jealousy, anger and revenge?
