Pero quizá ninguno haya visto su realidad invadida por la ficción como Javier Marías, ni a tantas personas comportarse como personajes suyos, ni se habrá diluido tanto entre sus propias páginas, ni se habrá convertido en el heredero de un reino legendario que sin embargo figura en los mapas.

Real love is an illusion that left me heartbroken and a single mother. I tried, failed, and am finally picking up the pieces. No one will convince me I need to give love another chance, especially not the sexy-as-sin pilot who attempts to do just that. He is annoying and won’t go away. Why won’t he take a hint? And why am I letting him get under my skin? I should just forget him, but for some reason, I can’t. His ice-blue eyes are destroying the walls of protection around my heart.

My life is a complete mess. I have a sister who’s threatening to sue me, my boyfriend’s a douche who I should have dumped years ago.

When my best friend’s husband offers me a position in his company, I snap it up. What I don’t expect is to be working with the rude - and unfortunately completely gorgeous - man who sat laughing at me through a coffee shop window. While I tried to pull my heel from a grate in the sidewalk, as it poured with rain.

Oliver, un joven londinense con una peculiar situación familiar y una triste pérdida, hereda una casona colonial, Villa Marina, a pie de playa en el pueblecito costero de Suances, en Cantabria. En las obras de remodelación se descubre en el sótano el cadáver emparedado de un bebé, al que acompaña un objeto que resulta completamente anacrónico.

Considerada una obra transgresora e insólita en el momento de su aparición, Los dominios del lobo es una divertida e inteligente parodia y un homenaje al cine de los años dorados de Hollywood. En ella, Marías demuestra ya una notable madurez narrativa, una aguda ironía y una deslumbrante capacidad de fabulación.
