From the Spanish author Javier Marías, this book earned the European Literary Prize in 2011. Despite being named The Infatuations , this book is not only about infatuation or love, it’s a powerful and intense reflection about life and death, about love and friendship… Somewhere along the way, the protagonist happens to know something that she shouldn’t and Marías almost perfectly describes the fear and hesitation of someone who was a little shocked for what had found out, all of the emerging feelings that filled out her head while she tries to decide what to do concerning her discovery.  The feelings, they are the real emphasis of this book, written in a philosophic tone, and in which, the feelings and the character thoughts are, actually, more important than the action itself.

Um dia sou escritora, Outro sou apenas mãe, Noutro dia sou senhora E noutro fico muito aquém. O tempo corre todos os dias, O mundo não pára para pensarmos Deixarmo-nos levar por fantasias, É perder tudo o que imaginámos. Cada dia temos um papel, Cada jornada é diferente Para os outros tudo temos de fazer, Mas para nós, amar é suficiente. (Imagem: www.teoriamaterna.com)
