Description: Allen Lane, 2022. Hardcover. Fine Condition. 9780241389379 Firmly bound, clean unmarked pages, slight shelfwear to jacket. A nicely kept copy. In The Facemaker, Fitzharris rescues another vital yet largely forgotten figure from history. Blending scrupulous research with a novelist's eye, the author charts Gillies's extraordinary contribution to reconstructive surgery and weaves in touching accounts of the soldiers he treated. Stark and occasionally unsettling, the book reveals Gillies as both a craftsman and an artist, and underlines how by restoring the faces of the maimed Gillies was also restoring their lives and identities -- Brendan Daly - Business Post 336 pages.
