Your Face Tomorrow: Poison, Shadow, and Farewell (Vol. 3)

Your Face Tomorrow , Javier Marías's daring novel in three parts culminates triumphantly in this much-anticipated final volume.

Poison, Shadow, and Farewell , with its heightened tensions between meditations and noir narrative, with its wit and and ever deeper forays into the mysteries of consciousness, brings to a stunning finale Marías's three-part Your Face Tomorrow . Already this novel has been acclaimed "exquisite" ( Publishers Weekly ), "gorgeous" ( Kirkus ), and "outstanding: another work of urgent originality" ( London Independent) . Poison, Shadow, and Farewell takes our hero Jaime Deza—hired by MI6 as a person of extraordinarily sophisticated powers of perception—back to Madrid to both spy on and try to protect his own family, and into new depths of love and loss, with a fluency on the subject of death that could make a stone weep.
