The Little Liar
The Little Liar: A Novel | Mitch Albom
13 posts | 8 read | 1 reading | 8 to read
Beloved bestselling author Mitch Albom returns with a powerful novel that moves from a coastal Greek city during the Holocaust, 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 lovedand all the othersto 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.

I went into this one blind, as Albom is an automatic read for me. I'm glad I did, because although I adore historical fiction, WW2 and Holocaust stories are not my favorite. This one may have opened me back up to the era. I love how the story is told with four protagonists but one narrator, Truth. This ranks up there with The Time Keeper and Have a Little Faith!

TheBookgeekFrau I feel like this is such an underrated read. Albom is an auto buy for me, so I read it when it first came out and loved it. But you're the first person I've seen since who read it. 2mo

This book is different from any others I have read about events related to the Holocaust. It follows the story of four people whose stories intersect before, during, and after the war. Nico and Sebastian are brothers, Fannie is their friend, and Udo Graf is the German officer whose evil lies and manipulations seals the fate of the other three.

I'm going to be in the US Virgin Islands for 6 weeks. I'm not leaving for over a month yer, but the most important task is taken care of. I've got all of these ebooks on standby, three per week. Think that's enough? I probably won't finish all of them, but it's good to have choices. I like to decide on order so that when I'm on vacation, I don't even have to decide what comes next; I finish one and automatically start the next.

kspenmoll What a fabulous, long vacation! Pictures please! Enjoy enjoy! 3mo
Ruthiella You‘ve got your priorities straight! 😃 3mo

DebbieGrillo @Read4life what's your favorite thing to do on St. John? 3mo
Read4life @DebbieGrillo My kids love snorkeling but I‘m a sucker for Cinnamon Bay and just relaxing in the water. Our cousin usually takes us to St. John on his boat but we also took the car ferry this last trip. 3mo

Narrated by the voice of Truth, this story happens in a coastal town in Greece during WW II. Young Nico is duped into a lie, telling his family to get on the (Nazi) train, that they would all be safe and together again. When he realizes the truth, he spends the rest of his life searching for truth and redemption, as he assumes many identities. Poignant and moving 😔
