The penultimate novel by the great Marías, who very sadly died in September 2022. Themes, characters and ideas resurface throughout his work, both the standalone novels and the astonishing trilogy (Your Face Tomorrow). Berta Isla is the precursor to his final novel, Tomás Nevinson, published in March. Mesmerising, mysterious, provocative, witty and profound, it is a good place to start with this genius.
