A Heart So White by Javier Marías.
Javier Marias approaches family secrets through the continuing power of the past. Knowledge is not simply an answer to uncertainty; it can alter the life of the person who acquires it.
Read it for the relationship between disclosure and responsibility. The novel asks whether there are things people prefer not to know because knowing would make an unchanged life impossible.
Edition note: The cover and Apple Books option represent the Vintage English ebook (ISBN 9780307951076), with an introduction by Jonathan Coe.
