A ensemble novel that represents a true leap forward in Ramon Mas’s career, both in terms of narrative structure and the psychological depth of the characters.
Nofre wakes up on a path between fields on the outskirts of the city. He doesn’t know how he got there, and although a terrible headache makes him think he’s hungover, the only thing he remembers is going out for a run early in the morning. Moreover, when he tries to return home, he realizes that this lapse, which for him lasted only a few hours, has lasted fifteen years for the rest of humanity. From that moment on, he embarks on a journey to understand what happened, while becoming obsessed with reclaiming a family that has moved on without him.
Sempre és massa tard is an intimate drama with a touch of science fiction that reads with the eagerness of a mystery novel, while exploring the cracks that separate the members of a family. Starting from the tragedy of an unintentional abandoner, the author points out the wounds that make it impossible for us to forgive, and the life lag that often distances us from our loved ones.
