Renowned author Màrius Serra has published his latest novel El mal entès in Barcelona, a tragicomedy that examines how identity and chance shape our modern lives.

Published by Proa, the story follows Joan Ferrer, a translator whose quiet life is shattered following a fatal car accident involving his wife. This event leads to a series of shocking revelations regarding his daughter's true identity.
