s y, al mismo tiempo, un profundo examen del matrimonio basado en secretos y mentiras.

En el colegio, Berta Isla decidió que se casaría con Tomás Nevinson, el apuesto chico de su clase, medio español medio inglés, con un extraordinario don de lenguas. Pero cuando Tomás regresa a Madrid tras sus estudios en Oxford, es un hombre diferente. Allí ha sido reclutado por un agente de los servicios secretos británicos, desencadenando así una serie de acontecimientos que afectarán la vida que ambos habían planeado. Con su inigualable modo de explorar los más oscuros rincones del ser humano, Marías sumerge al lector en el creciente abismo que se abre lentamente entre Berta y Tomás y las decisiones que cambiarán irremediablemente a ambos. Berta Isla es una novela sobre el amor y la verdad, sobre el miedo y los secretos, sobre las identidades ocultas y el destino que decidimos asumir en nuestra vida.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

From award-winning, internationally best-selling Spanish writer, author of The Infatuations, comes a gripping novel of intrigue and missed chances--at once a spy story and a profound examination of a marriage founded on secrets and lies.

When Berta Isla was a schoolgirl, she decided she would marry Tomás Nevinson--the dashing half-Spanish, half-English boy in her class with an extraordinary gift for languages. But when Tomás returns to Madrid from his studies at Oxford, he is a changed man. Unbeknownst to her, he has been approached by an agent from the British intelligence services, and he has unwittingly set in motion events that will derail forever the life they had planned. With peerless insight into the most shadowed corners of the human soul, Marías plunges the reader into the growing chasm between Berta and Tomás and the decisions that irreversibly change the course of the couple's fate. Berta Isla is a novel of love and truth, fear and secrecy, buried identities, and the destinies we bring upon ourselves.
