The All Saints' Day Lovers

by Juan Gabriel Vásquez, translated by Anne McLean - £8.99  Bloomsbury Publishing PLC (2016)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9781408860434 | ISBN 10: 1408860430

A Colombian writer is witness to a murder which will mark him forever. A woman sits alone in her house, waiting for her husband to return, while he lies in another woman's bed twenty kilometres away. Through blood-soaked betrayal, a love affair, murder and long-meditated revenge, Vásquez achieves an extraordinary unity of emotion, morality and landscape with these fragmented lives.
 
Achingly sad and beautifully crafted, The All Saints' Day Lovers is a remarkable and intense collection of stories that explores the depths of relationships, loneliness and cruelty.
