The Face of Innocence, first published in 1951, tells the tale of Harry Camberley, his oldest friend — the unnamed narrator — and Harry s beautiful fiancee Eve. Both men fall in love with Eve at first sight, but it soon becomes clear that her grasp on reality is slipping; she prefers to lose herself, and those around her, in fantasy. Talked into subterfuge by Harry, his friend begins to wonder if Eve is a conventional girl fallen on hard times, or if there are darker secrets in her past. When the three take a holiday on the French Riviera, Eve s peculiarly open deceitfulness takes a new turn, and this time the consequences will be disastrous if Harry discovers the truth.
