The Little Liar

Book Overview: The Little Liar

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

Eleven-year-old Nico Krispis never told a lie. When the Nazis invade his home in Salonika, Greece, the trustworthy boy is discovered by a German officer, who offers him a chance to save his family. All Nico has to do is convince his fellow Jewish residents to board trains heading to “new homes” where they are promised jobs and safety. Unaware that this is all a cruel ruse, the innocent boy goes to the station platform every day and reassures the passengers that the journey is safe. But when the final train is at the station, Nico sees his family being loaded into a large boxcar crowded with other neighbors. Only after it is too late does Nico discover that he helped send the people he loved–and all the others–to their doom at Auschwitz.

Nico never tells the truth again.

In The Little Liar, his first novel set during the Holocaust, Mitch Albom interweaves the stories of Nico, his brother Sebastian, and their schoolmate Fanni, who miraculously survive the death camps and spend years searching for Nico, who has become a pathological liar, and the Nazi officer who radically changed their lives. As the decades pass, Albom reveals the consequences of what they said, did, and endured.

A moving parable that explores honesty, survival, revenge and devotion, The Little Liar is Mitch Albom at his very best. Narrated by the voice of Truth itself, it is a timeless story about the harm we inflict with our deceits, and the power of love to ultimately redeem us.

About the Author

Mitch Albom

Mitch Albom is a widely celebrated American author, journalist, screenwriter, and musician, best known for his inspirational stories that delve into the very essence of human experience and relationships. Born in Philadelphia and educated at Brandeis University and Columbia University, Albom’s initial career trajectory was primarily in the field of journalism. He achieved notable success as a sports columnist for the Detroit Free Press, earning him induction into the Sportswriters Hall of Fame. Yet, it was his leap into the realm of literature that catapulted Mitch Albom into global renown.

His breakthrough came with the publication of the autobiographical emotional tear-jerker, “Tuesdays with Morrie”, which sold over 14 million copies worldwide, was translated into forty-five languages, and adapted as a film and stage play. The success of this work marked the inception of Albom’s unique narrative style, merging elements from fiction and nonfiction, using the first-person perspective to recount life-changing experiences, often of a spiritual nature intertwined with the theme of mortality.
