"A Heart So White" by Javier Marías is a novel about relationships, the truth and the spoken out word. A young couple came home from their honeymoon, they enjoyed a dinner with other people, the wife got up, walked into the bathroom and shot herself into the chest. No motive. . After telling that, the book handles the life of the groom's later son, Juan. And there were a lot of plot parts that made me think, why does he tell me that, why do I have to know it? But when the mystery about the death of Juan's father's former wife slowly unfolds itself, it is all worth it. . It's genius and so reconsidered written that Javier Marías is a true master. Now I am really interested in reading this great novel again some day! Through the story Marías handles the meaning of time, of what remains from us, the difference between the action and the word, or how something means everything and nothing at the same time. All that with a language so poetic and repetitive just in the right moment. "Being born depends on a movement, a gesture, a phrase spoken at the other end of the world." . #javiermarias #corazóntanblanco #aheartsowhite #meinherzsoweiss #literature #bookstagram #gayswhoread #igreads #guywhoread #madrid #cuba #instagood #beautiful #photooftheday #visualsoflife #literatur #leseempfehlung #литература #хавьермариас #белоесердце #букстаграм https://www.instagram.com/p/CAiUsPHAdwb/?igshid=17pme96rvjcpn
