`Your Face Tomorrow is already being compared with Proust and rightly so` Observer`One of contemporary literature`s major works … you have to open this book` Ali SmithDeza has been told he has a gift: he can see through people; guess just from their faces what will become of them. When he encounters the enigmatic Bertram Tupra at a party, Deza is persuaded to join a mysterious underground group. His task: to observe an assortment of people – politicians, celebrities, seemingly ordinary citizens – and predict their next move. But where will Deza`s descent into this twilight world eventually take him? The first part of Javier Marias` masterly trilogy asks how well we truly know and understand those around us.Translated by Margaret Jull Costa
