Face Value is a novel by Vera Cowie, a British writer born in 1928. This novel tells the story of Eve Czerny, head of her own cosmetics empire. She is an expert in selling dreams. She knows that if the packaging is right, women wil flock to buy her expensive lotions which promise youth and beauty and happiness. Glamorous, wealthy and a formidable entrepreneur, Eve has made a hugely successful living out of believing in her own dreams.
Born plain Anna Farkas on a peasant farm in Hungary, she left for the West in the wake of the Uprising and refashioned herself as Eve Czerny, Empress of Beauty—using her shrewd business head, her energy, determination and cunning, and the beautiful face she was born with.
But hidden in Eve’s past is an ugly truth she cannot bear the world to know: she has a daughter, Alex, whose lie she has blighted by starving her of love.
Once a plain child, now a clever and resourceful young woman, Alex discovers that, at last, she has something Eve needs. Mother and daughter are locked in a power struggle—both strong, both fragile, both fighting to survive…
