A heart so white ...

... by Javier Marias is beauitifully written, interweaving the boundaries of love, betrayal, miscommunication, introspection, things said and unsaid ... 


"We also miss each other (vaguely) when we're not together, she's one of those people (in everyone's life there are four or five such people whose loss one truly feels) to whom you're used to telling everything that happens to you, that is, one of those people you think about when something happens to you, be it funny or dramatic, and for whom you store events and anecdotes. You accept misfortunes gladly because you know you can tell those five people about them afterwards."
