Book "Remember Me Tomorrow on the Battlefield" by Javier Marias

Remember Me Tomorrow on the Battlefield is a novel about deception, infidelity, fate and its consequences. The main character is Victor Francis, a successful writer who comes to Martha Telles' house hoping for a love date. Martha is a beautiful woman, she has a husband and a child. At perhaps the most important moment of the meeting, when it seems nothing can interfere, the most unexpected thing happens. Martha becomes ill, and Victor involuntarily becomes a witness to her suffering: the woman dies in his arms, in the marital bed, and the child sleeps in the next room. Fate or an unfortunate coincidence, and what should Victor do in this case? The story, told in the first person, turns into an endless chain of thoughts, where the reader will have to find a mysterious thread to unravel the mystery. The unique and inimitable writing style of this masterfully written novel is intertwined with heartbreaking scenes and images, impressions and descriptions, assumptions and flights of imaginary thought.
