The tragedy of this beautiful book being given a cover like THAT. This is a favourite of the year for sure.

After a man loses his wife, he reflects on their marriage and whether he really ever understood her. In doing so, he gains revelation--and much more.
I liked this for the insightful tone, Spanish seaside setting, friendships and unexpected development/ending.
