Part spy novel, part romance, part Henry James, Your Face Tomorrow
is a wholly remarkable display of the immense gifts of Javier
Marias. With Fever and Spear, Volume One of his unfolding novel
Your Face Tomorrow, he returns us to the rarified world of Oxford
(the delightful setting of All Souls and Dark Back of Time), while
introducing us to territory entirely new--espionage. Our hero,
Jaime Deza, separated from his wife in Madrid, is a bit adrift in
London until his old friend Sir Peter Wheeler retired Oxford don
and semi-retired master spy recruits him for a new career in
British Intelligence. Deza possesses a rare gift for seeing behind
the masks people wear. He is soon observing interviews conducted by
Her Majesty's secret service: variously shady international
businessmen one day, would-be coup leaders the next. Seductively,
this metaphysical thriller explores past, present, and future in
the ever-more-perilous 21st century. This compelling and enigmatic
tour de force from one of Europe's greatest writers continues with
Volume Two, Dance and Dream."
