Review this book!
Before marrying Juan's mother, Juan's father Ranz had been married to her sister--for a few days. Shortly after their honeymoon, the woman committed suicide. Ranz is traumatized by this to such a degree that his personality becomes quite menacing; Juan and his new wife Luisa, translators for diplomats, try to come to grips with the past of Juan's family and how it affects the future of their own marriage.

Publisher Notes
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.
Media Reviews
"...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...."
