"Face is riotous with erudition--a heady mix of global climate warnings, earth sciences, fossil discoveries and hoaxes, and speculative fiction (Liu Cixin and Octavia Butler get nods), all amalgamated into gorgeous prose. Lucky readers who choose this one can expect temporal shifts, compounding mysteries and irresistibly unreliable--and even otherworldly--narration." --Shelf Awareness

"Dense with observation, this scalpel-sharp narrative flinches from nothing. It approaches memory, family, history, and the great oncoming disaster of the Anthropocene with courage bordering on fury." --Premee Mohamed, author of The Annual Migration of Clouds

"Face is a mesmerizing novel about science and climate research in the Anthropocene . . . [that] manages to convey some of the most wonderful aspects of doing science, and at the same time (via the character of a ruthless palaeontologist) the dark, criminal side all scientists must remain vigilant about." --Helmut Weissert, professor Earth Sciences, ETH Zürich, Switzerland

"Face sweeps us up in a science journalist's struggle to forge meaning from her own, and the earth's, fractured memories. Murder mystery, ghost story, science novel? Singh gives us an unsettling novel of ideas that questions the power of the stories we tell--about science, history, and our own lives--even as it employs that power to probe climate guilt and anxiety." --Susan M. Gaines, author of Accidentals and Carbon Dreams

"A thought-provoking tale about science, duplicity, climate research, and narrative." --Prairie Books NOW

"Singh brilliantly manages to control what might otherwise have been an unwieldy mix of ghost story, crime fiction, doppelganger fiction, science writing, cultural biography, fantasy and critical race theory under the rubric of speculative fiction" --Alberta Views
