En un mundo sumergido casi por completo por el mar, un hombre llamado Bran lleva los últimos diez años viviendo en una isla desierta. Fue enviado allà por aquellos a los que antaño lideraba y marca cada dÃa que pasa en la pared de su cueva, esperando el final. Un dÃa, ocurre algo que despierta en Bran unos recuerdos y una nostalgia que lo convencen de que regrese, aunque eso conlleve su ejecución. Su recepción es tan inesperada, tan difÃcil de explicar, que se desespera tratando de averiguar qué es real y qué imaginario. Solo la amistad de una niña le servirá de apoyo mientras rememora los terribles hechos de los que es responsable e intenta volver, después de su gran traición, a los brazos de quien amó. Marcas en la pared es una novela profundamente conmovedora sobre la culpa, la pérdida y la memoria narrada con una prosa desapasionada de gran elegancia.
In a world almost entirely submerged by the sea, a man named Bran has spent the last ten years living on a deserted island. He was sent there by those he once led, and he marks each passing day on the wall of his cave as he awaits the end. One day, something happens that awakens memories and nostalgia in Bran, convincing him to return--even if it means his execution. His reception is so unexpected, so difficult to explain, that he becomes desperate to discern what is real and what is imagined. Only the friendship of a young girl sustains him as he recalls the terrible acts for which he is responsible and tries, after his great betrayal, to return to the arms of the one he loved. Wall of Days a profoundly moving novel about guilt, loss, and memory, narrated with dispassionate and elegant prose.
