About this book
Description
Paris in the Spring, 1963. Martin, a graduate with an uncertain future, meets Delia, a writer who is as beautiful as she’s rich. He’s in her twenties and she’s in her forties, but the age difference doesn’t make any difference to their love for each other. Until jealousy makes Martin curious about Delia’s past. His suspicions grow, and he goes back to their native Buenos Aires, in search for the truth, a truth which turns into a hall of mirrors with a murder at the centre, filled with elusive reflections of his long-dead father, his mother, and Delia herself. As he comes closer and closer to the facts past and present collide. His unforgettable discovery will shape the rest of his life.
