Book Review: ‘The Little Liar: A Novel’ By Mitch Albom

Mitch Albom has a unique way of writing novels, and never disappoints. His latest if great. You will not want to put it down. In Greece, the lives of four people (and all the other people killed) will forever be changed, because of Hitler and the Germans. Nico, 11 years old, was raised never to lie, and has never told one. When his older brother Sebastian, his parents, and Fanni, the girl who lived next door are taken, he hides in a crawl space, only to be found by German officer Graf, and told his family would be returned if he told the Jews they were being taken to Poland, and new lives. Then he found out it was a lie, and he lied, and vowed never to tell the truth. We then follow all four over decades, and how each person’s lives turned out, all told by Truth, who narrates the story. I can’t say enough good things about this novel, it was a fascinating read.

You can pick up The Little Liar in stores on Tuesday, November 14th from Harper.
