El mal entès
A gripping and deeply human novel, El mal entès is a novel about the role of chance in our lives.
Its protagonist, Joan Ferrer, is a literary translator with a quiet, orderly existence. Everything collapses when his wife, Rosa, is killed in a car accident along with their daughter Alba—just days after Rosa discovers Joan’s affair with the babysitter. The child survives, and soon after, Joan will learn that he is not her biological father.
The revelation sets off a chain reaction of secrets, betrayals, and misunderstandings that ripple through every part of his life: family, love, work, and the law. What begins as a private crisis becomes a moral and emotional reckoning, driven by guilt, chance, and the consequences of a single mistake.
