Product Description

Product Description

Set against the background of Nelson Mandela’s release, IN EVERY FACE I MEET is the story of Anthony Northleach, and one intense, comic and horrifying day in his life.

‘Glitteringly entertaining.’ The Times

'A hugely readable, beautifully written, thoughtful book.’ Marie Claire

‘A brilliant and original book ... There can be nothing derivative about a novelist with Justin Cartwright’s fresh accuracy of perception, which provides constant small shocks of recognition ... funny as well as bleak, and full of humanity. This is a novel that tackles all the big state-of-the modern-world themes; it is also intensely readable’ Sunday Telegraph

2.0 out of 5 stars How lives can turn upside down in a heartbeat, 3 Jul 2009
By Script Angel (Solihull, England) - See all my reviews
A curious style of prose writing, underneath which is actually quite a nice story. The writing style is unusual and once you get used to it is actually quite rewarding. The difficulty with it is that the narrator places quite a distance between himself and his characters which makes it difficult to engage with them. Although Anthony, Mike, Chanelle and Jason are interesting characters we get to know very little about them which lessens the impact of the deaths.

It feels a little like an episode of Casualty; we know they'll end up in A&E, we just don't know quite how. Having set up the murder trial first, then flashing back to the day in question we follow the lives of the central characters through the day knowing they will collide and knowing someone will die, the only question is how. There is something quite morbidly hypnotic about that sense of inevitability, like watching two cars speeding towards a head on collision.
