Tomás Nevinson
Marías, Javier
Tomás Nevinson, Berta Isla's husband, falls into the temptation to return to the Secret Services after having been away, and is proposed to go to a northwestern city to identify a person, half Spanish and half Northern Irish, who participated in attacks by the IRA and ETA ten years ago. We are in 1997. The order bears the stamp of his ambiguous ex-boss Bertram Tupra, who, through a deception, had already conditioned his previous life. The novel, beyond its plot, is a deep reflection on the limits of what can be done, on the stain that avoidance of the greater evil almost always brings and on the difficulty of determining what that evil is. Against the background of historical episodes of terrorism, Tomás Nevinson is also the story of what happens to someone who has already had everything happened and to whom, apparently, nothing else could happen. But, while they do not finish, every day they arrive...
