Volume two of Javier Maria's acclaimed and evocative 'novel in parts'

The first volume of Javier Marias's 'novel in parts' saw Jacques Deza questioning the morality of his position in an undercover network under the enigmatic Bertram Tupra. When Deza is forced to witness an act of unexpected brutality he is shaken to his core. Witnessing this event triggers memories from the horrors of the Spanish Civil War and as Deza's situation becomes increasingly suffocating Marias creates a gripping exploration of man's capability for violence.

Praise for Your Face Tomorrow, Volume 2

One of contemporary literature's major works... You have to open this book

Ali Smith

Fantastically funny... As a practitioner of the novel, Marías has few peers at the moment...Marías is a deeply necessary writer, a crusader, funny, pungent, full of wrath and love

Guardian

Unquestionably the most significant Spanish writer of his generation... Your Face Tomorrow is a rich, haunting, intriguing, sometimes frustrating meditation on the significance of our lives that also shines an unforgiving light on a too-often forgotten bloodshed

Observer

By turns ebullient, snappish, lyrical, self-delighting and chilling... Marías's fiercely perceptive novels are among the best work being produced anywhere at the moment
