In the shadow of war, a young boy faces an impossible choice. Before the Nazis invaded Salonika, Greece, truth was eleven-year-old Nico Krispis's only language. But when his family's safety is threatened, he is forced to lie, unknowingly becoming a pawn in a devastating deception. He reassures his Jewish neighbors about trains to supposed safety, only to realize the horrific truth when his own family is forced onto the final transport.
Haunted by this betrayal, Nico vows never to speak the truth again. This gripping Historical Fiction novel, The Little Liar, masterfully weaves together the lives of Nico, his vengeful brother Sebastian, the girl caught between them, Fannie, and the calculating Nazi officer Udo Graf. It explores the profound human repercussions of honesty and dishonesty across war-torn years, concentration camps, and the decades that follow.
As an New York Times Best Sellers selection, The Little Liar offers an unforgettable examination of the human spirit. It serves as a powerful bridge to understanding the lasting impact of lies and the deep yearning for redemption, culminating in a staggering climax that brings these intertwined destinies back to their tragic beginning.
