Novel, DUOMO, (May 2019)
in Después de Kim, John and Geraldine are divorced and have been ignoring each other for years, even though they both live in London and have a daughter together. Their quiet lives are shattered when they get the news that their daughter, who’s been living in Spain for years, has been murdered.
Not knowing a word of Spanish, John and Geraldine fly to a village on the Mediterranean Costa del Sol. While enduring days of painful formalities and uncertainties in the police investigation of the crime, they’re forced to live together and understand each other again, as they each reconstruct a past full of emptiness and repressed emotion: a dizzying infatuation and a marriage mired in routine, infidelity and discord, while they ignored a daughter who needed their full attention.
In their attempt to investigate everything they didn’t know about their daughter’s life and the murky circumstances of her murder, John and Geraldine are presented with a wonderful and unexpected chance to atone for some of their past mistakes.
“A novel with a murder where finding the killer is not the most important thing. Very original.” Alicia Giménez Bartlett
“An emotional story about bad decisions, heartbreak, redemption, and second chances. An intimist novel that starts with the pain of loss and delves into the complexity of feelings, and how far we’re capable of going to save our loved ones and recover the past.” Quelibroleo.com
