«La oscura historia de la prima Montse» is the novel by Juan Marsé, published by LUMEN in hardback (312 pages, in Spanish).
A man returns ten years after the tragedy to his aunt and uncle's chalet, the wealthy and Catholic Claramunt family, condemned to demolition. There, the story of his cousin Montse emerges—an idealist devoted to charity—and of the cultured, ambitious convict she wanted to protect; from that relationship came secrets that marked the family.
First published in 1970, this work belongs to Lumen's Biblioteca Juan Marsé collection.
For readers of contemporary Spanish fiction interested in dark stories about memory, guilt, and social classes.
Juan Marsé Carbó was a Spanish novelist, journalist, and screenwriter who used Spanish as his literary language. In 2008, he was awarded the Cervantes Prize, "the Spanish-language equivalent" to the Nobel Prize in Literature.
