«Los enamoramientos» is the novel by Javier Marías, published by Alfaguara in 2011 in paperback (408 pages, in Spanish).
María Dolz follows a couple every morning in a café, admiring and perhaps envying their happiness. After the man's violent death, a chance encounter brings her closer to the circumstances of the crime. The work explores infatuation as a state that justifies noble or vile actions, and memory, impunity, and truth.
A novel in Alfaguara's Hispánica collection, awarded the Premio Nacional de Narrativa in 2012.
For adult readers of literary fiction and contemporary Spanish novels, and for those who appreciate Javier Marías's narrative.
