Your Face Tomorrow by Margaret Costa
A book unlike any other, a daring experiential unfolding Spanish masterpiece, Your Face Tomorrow now leaps into uncharted new territory in Volume Two: Dance and Dream.
"Your Face Tomorrow is already being compared to Proust’s A la recherche du temps perdu, and rightly so" -- The Observer
"The overall effect recalls the cerebral play of Borges, the dark humor of Pynchon, and meditative lyricism of Proust." -- Review of Contemporary Fiction
"By one of the most original writers at work today, Your Face Tomorrow [is] as accomplished and sui generis as all his mature work [and the] most affecting narrative feat in Marías’s work to date." -- The New York Times Book Review
"This brilliant trilogy must be one of the greatest novels of our age." -- Antony Beevor - The Sunday Telegraph [London]
"I would like to forget this novel but it is hard to get it out of one’s mind. We wait uneasily for Volume Three." -- Margaret Drabble - Times Literary Supplement
