Jaime discovers that he belongs to the reduced group of people who has a "gift" or curse: to see what people will do in the future, to recognize today how their faces will look tomorrow, to identify who will betray him. With his audacious structure and captivating prose, Javier Marias expands some of his already classic subjects: the unfathomable essence of people, what people are capable of seeing in others ... but very few dare to recognize within their own conscience.
