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.

Never Again!

I have listened to and read many books and I have only ever once before used the phrase "A Must Read". This is "A Must Read".

Amazing Book! This is a great story with rich characters. In my top 10 for sure!

First off, I love that it is read by the author. I feel like that helps you understand the characters and voices and I really enjoyed it! I hadn’t read Mitch Albom for over a decade but this book was given to me by a friend. I loved it! Loved the characters, the storyline and the message. The story is told from the perspective of truth. In other words…..Truth is the narrator. I didn’t know how I was going to feel about that at first, but I ended up really liking that too. It is just a great book! It is warm and heartfelt and it is a new perspective on books about World War II and the concentration camps. Just listen to it!you will like it!

The ending was great!

Wow! A heartbreaking and gripping story that I could NOT put away until it was finished! I love that a story involved with the history of the holocaust has come around again. We need to be reminded to remember!
