A moving new novel from the beloved author of Tuesdays with Morrie and The Five People You Meet in Heaven
When the Nazis invade his home in Salonika, Greece, a German officer offers eleven-year-old Nico Krispis a chance to save his family. Nico must convince his fellow Jewish residents to board trains heading 'north', where safety and protection awaits.
But when the final train is loaded, Nico sees his family being herded into a boxcar. Only then does he realise that he has helped send them, and everyone he knew, to their doom at Auschwitz. Nico escapes but he never tells the truth again.
In The Little Liar, Nico's story is interweaved with those of his family, friends and even the Nazi officer who changed their lives. Through the war years and the decades that follow, Albom reveals the consequences of their decisions, eventually bringing them back to where it all started.
The Little Liar is a timeless tale of the harm we inflict with our deceits, and the power of love to redeem us.
Review Moving . . . Mitch Albom´s books often capture the zeitgeist, but his new novel about the
fate of Greek Jews during World War II packs a particular punch ― Daily Mail
A story whose full scope, like a distant image coming into focus through a lens, sharpens with each turn of the page. As with all Albom books, the pages turn quickly. For most, this is a book that will be read in just one or two sittings. But no matter how long it takes, it will stay with you . . . Albom has created art that can be added to the long list of movies, music, theater and books that are humanity's best hope to deliver on the words inscribed on memorials around the world: "Never Forget." ― Independent
Profound . . . Love, humour and the resilience of the human spirit shine through The Little Liar ― Irish Examiner
Once again, the author has delivered a captivating read that documents themes of revenge and devotion. Definitely one where you'll need a tissue handy ― Belfast Telegraph
