Every day, Maria Dolz stops for breakfast at the same cafe. And every day she enjoys watching a handsome couple who follow the same routine.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Then one day they aren't there, and she feels obscurely bereft. It is only later, when she comes across a newspaper photograph of the man, lying stabbed in the street, his shirt half off, that she discovers who the couple are. Some time afterwards, when the woman returns to the cafe with her children, who are then collected by a different man, and Maria approaches her to offer her condolences, an entanglement begins which sheds new light on this apparently random, pointless death.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e With The Infatuations, Javier Marias brilliantly reimagines the murder novel as a metaphysical enquiry, addressing existential questions of life, death, love and morality. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFormat: Paperback \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePublished: UK, 2014\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePublisher: Penguin Books Ltd\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePages: 352\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLanguage: English\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eISBN 13: 9780241958490\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eISBN 10: 0241958490\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Javier Marias","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44854099476746,"sku":"","price":13.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0282\/6066\/3399\/files\/9780241958490.jpg?v=1699273438","url":"https:\/\/www.shakespeareandsons.com\/products\/the-infatuations","provider":"Shakespeare \u0026 Sons Buchhandel GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
