Heady and unsettling, a couple's new life in Lisbon unravels in this psychological thriller from one of Spain's most celebrated writers.
A man travels to Lisbon ahead of his wife to prepare their newly purchased home, while she stays in New York to oversee a research project on the neuroscience of memory and fear. Leaving behind a phase of their relationship indelibly marked by 9/11, he revels in the Portuguese capital's temperate weather and the neighborhood's calm, meticulously planning the details of their future.
Yet beneath the peace and quiet of this routine, he feels a growing unease he can't explain. Is it the similarity between the two cities, and the two apartments? A mysterious threat waiting in the wings?
A brilliant, deceptively simple novel of psychological suspense, Your Steps on the Stairs explores how our emotions and memories shape our perception of reality. With his subtle, masterful style, Antonio Munoz Molina lays bare the fragility of the stories we so carefully craft about ourselves.
