Product Description
'I felt alive. That pressure on my chest means being alive . . . '
Forty-nine, with a kind face, a good salary, three moody children and no serious ailments (apart from varicose veins), widowed accountant Martín Santomé is about to retire. He assumes he'll take up gardening, or the guitar, or whatever retired people do. What he least expects is to fall passionately in love with his shy young employee Laura Avellaneda. As they embark upon an affair, Martín feels the weight of his quiet existence lift - until, out of nowhere, their joy is cut short. A million-copy bestseller worldwide, this is the intimate, heartbreaking story of an ordinary man who is reborn when he falls in love one final time.
