The Infatuations Author:Javier Marias, Margaret Jull Costa (Translator) Every day, María Dolz stops for breakfast at the same café.

Then one day they aren't there, and she feels obscurely bereft. — It is only later, when she comes across a newspaper photograph of the man, lying stabbed in the street, his shirt half off,... more » that she discovers who the couple are.
