The Infatuations is a critically acclaimed novel by the great Spanish writer Javier Marias. And every day she enjoys watching a handsome couple who follow the same routine. Every day, Maria Dolz stops for breakfast at the same cafe.
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. Then one day they aren't there, and she feels obscurely bereft. 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.
With The Infatuations, Javier Marias brilliantly reimagines the murder novel as a metaphysical enquiry, addressing existential questions of life, death, love and morality.
