Title : The House of Sorrows - Victor Del Arbol - book Summary : Eduardo tries to survive in a soulless apartment, thanks to alcohol and psychotropic drugs prescribed by the psychiatrist in charge of his rehabilitation. He has just served a prison sentence for the murder of the hit-and-run driver who killed his wife and daughter fourteen years ago. A formerly popular painter, he earns his living by producing anonymous portraits on an assembly line that his gallery owner places in supermarkets. One day, she gives him a very strange commission: a famous violinist asks him to paint a portrait of the man who killed her son. She wants to be able to decipher the characteristics of the murderer beneath the man's features. United in their shared grief, the client and the artist soon open Pandora's box, unleashing all the demons buried within. Eduardo's brush brings to light a gallery of tormented beings, trapped in a drama that has frozen their existence: a young androgynous Chinese man who trades in his body, the son of an OAS fighter enriched by the gas and oil of Algiers, a former agent of Pinochet's political police, an Armenian without faith or law, a young girl abused by her mother's lover, a Sufi mercenary... So many characters who haunt the house of sorrows, trapped by a desperate vengeance and a chance that is only another name for destiny. Assembling before the reader's eyes the thousand and one pieces of a terrifying puzzle, Víctor del Árbol creates a dizzyingly masterful novel, chilling in its darkness and disarming in its humanity.
