'Everyone should read Frances Hardinge. Everyone. Right now.' Patrick Ness A Face Like Glass is an astonishing and imaginative novel from the Costa Award winning author of The Lie Tree, Frances Hardinge. In the underground city of Caverna the world's most skilled craftsmen toil in the darkness to create delicacies beyond compare - wines that can remove memories, cheeses that can make you hallucinate and perfumes that convince you to trust the wearer, even as they slit your throat. The people of Caverna are more ordinary, but for one thing: their faces are as blank as untouched snow. Expressions must be learned, and only the famous Facesmiths can teach a person to show (or fake) joy, despair or fear - at a price. Into this dark and distrustful world comes Neverfell, a little girl with no memory of her past and a face so terrifying to those around her that she must wear a mask at all times. For Neverfell's emotions are as obvious on her face as those of the most skilled Facesmiths, though entirely genuine. And that makes her very dangerous indeed ...

Frances Hardinge spent a large part of her childhood in a huge old house that inspired her to write strange stories from an early age. She read English at Oxford University, then got a job at a software company. However, a few years later a persistent friend finally managed to bully Frances into sending a few chapters of Fly By Night, her first children's novel, to a publisher. Macmillan made her an immediate offer. The book went on to publish to huge critical acclaim and win the Branford Boase First Novel Award. She has since written many highly acclaimed children's novels including, Fly By Night's sequel, Twilight Robbery, as well as the Carnegie shortlisted Cuckoo Song and the Costa Book of the Year winner, The Lie Tree.

Zustand: Muy bueno. : Adéntrate en la ciudad subterránea de Caverna, donde los artesanos más hábiles crean exquisiteces sin igual: vinos que borran recuerdos, quesos que inducen alucinaciones y perfumes que te convencen de confiar en quien los lleva, incluso mientras te degüellan. Los habitantes de Caverna son singulares, con rostros tan inexpresivos como la nieve. Las expresiones deben aprenderse, y solo los renombrados Facesmiths pueden enseñar a mostrar (o fingir) alegría, desesperación o miedo, a un precio. En este mundo oscuro y desconfiado, Neverfell, una niña sin recuerdos de su pasado, debe ocultar su rostro tras una máscara, pues sus emociones son tan evidentes como las de los Facesmiths más hábiles, aunque genuinas. Esto la convierte en un peligro y un tesoro codiciado, un rostro por el que algunos matarían.
