Publisher's summary

An instant New York Times Bestseller

Beloved bestselling author Mitch Albom returns with a powerful novel of hope and forgiveness that moves from a coastal Greek city during WWII to America in the golden age of Hollywood, as the intertwined lives of three young survivors are forever changed by the perils of deception and the grace of redemption.

Eleven-year-old Nico Krispis has never told a lie. His schoolmate, Fannie, loves him because of it. Nico’s older brother Sebastian resents him for both these facts. When their young lives are torn apart during the war, it will take them decades to find each other again.

Nico’s innocence and goodness is used against his tightly knit community when a German officer barters Nico’s reputation for honesty into a promise to save his loved ones. When Nico realizes the consequences of the betrayal, he can never tell the truth again. He will spend the rest of this life changing names, changing locations and identities, desperate to find a way to forgiveness—for himself and from the people he loves most.

Albom’s extraordinary storytelling is at its powerful best in his first novel to confront the destruction that lying can wreak both on the world stage as well as on the individual lives that get caught up in it. As The Stranger in the Lifeboat spoke to belief, The Little Liar speaks to hope, in a breathless work that will break your heart open and fill it with the power of the human spirit and the goodness that lies within us all.

Narrated by the voice of Truth itself, The Little Liar is a timeless story about the power of love to ultimately redeem us, no matter how deeply we blame ourselves for our mistakes.

Breathtaking!!

I pray that many will read this book and rethink their relationship to the truth. I’m still amazed at how much evil is perpetrated in the name of truth.

woah

I've been a fan of Mitch since my sophomore year in highschool (a few years back) each book is amazing. This one really was a good listen and made me think about the horrors of the second world war in another way. it was emotional I'm not going lie I got teary towards the end of the book. 10/10

Truth Be Told

i loved the author being the reader! I’m so happy I listened to this book. It was interesting having Truth as a character. As with his other books Mitch Albom draws the reader into his story where you can’t wait to learn the ending yet not wanting the story to end. The ending is not happily ever after yet it’s a great ending that makes you smile and say YEAH! May we never forget the horrors of what happened to the jewish peoples in WWII

Everyone should read this book!

What a masterpiece! I felt completely immersed in the story and I learned things I never knew. I was so touched by each of the four main characters, each bringing out so many emotions. I love that the story is told from the perspective of truth. So creative and so well written. True, be told!

if you love Mitch Albom you will LOVE this!

If you love Mitch Albom you will LOVE this! it will be one of his best.

Truly moving. A story that will stop you on your tracks. It left me with my heart in my hands.

An Amazing Story

I loved listening to this story of truth and lies. Truth be told, the Truth will set you free. The Wolf in this story sounds eerily like the former president of the United States and who is spreading his lies. Purify the blood this evil man has said. Close the borders he says. Beware or else the horrors of WWII will repeat.

A different take on the holocaust story.

I liked the characters as children but as adults but they didn’t seem as “fleshed out” especially when the years just skipped by. Would have liked the blanks filled in with more writing. Still a great read!

The telling of the story. Perfectly done

I like the way MA writes. It was interesting the way he put the 4 parts together.

Simply Beautiful

Absolutely beautiful. This book is a piece of art that should not be missed. Sure to be a classic.
