Reviews

""The Face has blown me away. It's utterly fascinating, beautifully written, scholarly yet entertaining and I completely love it. I couldn't admire Fay Bound-Alberti more.""--Dame Joanna Lumley ""Like the double-faced god Janus, Bound-Alberti's piercing gaze is split between our rich past and our uncertain future, enabling her to offer some fascinating insights about the nature of human identity. She uses both the wide-angle lens and the magnifying glass to dazzling effect. A compelling and thought-provoking book that is sure to linger in the reader's mind.""--Lindsey Fitzharris, New York Times Bestselling author of The Facemaker
