La tregua

Just before his retirement, Martín Santomé, a widower with three children, starts to document his dull grey life in a diary. The everyday routine at the office and in a tense, conflictfilled home starts to change with the arrival of young Laura Avellana, his new employee. And this man, almost without meaning to, decides to begin a luminous new chapter in his life. The Truce has been translated to dozens of languages and has been adapted for movies, television, and radio, but above all has enjoyed exceptional acclaim by readers around the world.
