The Little Liar

A Novel

De: Mitch Albom

Narrado por: Mitch Albom

An Instant New York Times Bestseller

Beloved bestselling author Mitch Albom returns with his most important novel to date, an unforgettable story of truth and lies set during the Holocaust.

Eleven-year-old Nico Krispis has 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 persuade his fellow Jewish residents to board trains heading “north,” where new jobs and safety await. Unaware that this is all a cruel ruse, the innocent boy reassures passengers on the station platform every day.

But when the final train is loaded, Nico sees his family being herded into a boxcar. Only then does he discover that he has helped send them—and everyone he knows and loves—to their doom at Auschwitz.

Nico escapes—but he never tells the truth again.

In The Little Liar, Mitch Albom examines the human repercussions of deception by interweaving the stories of Nico, who yearns for forgiveness; his older brother, Sebastian, who vows revenge against him; Fannie, the girl who must choose between them; and Udo Graf, the Nazi officer who forever changed their lives with his lies.

Through the war years, the concentration camps, and the decades that follow, Albom reveals the consequences of each person’s honesty and dishonesty, bringing them back to where it all started in a staggering climax worthy of the best of Albom’s internationally embraced stories.

Timing is everything

I was totally entranced by the audible version of this brilliant story. Riveting from start to finish and painfully eery in the timing of the current Jewish experience.
Never Again is sadly now.
Anti semitism is on a meteoric
rise.
Now more than ever this book is a reminder of how important speaking up and speaking the truth can be.

My Missed Chapter in History

Had I heard a story like this in school, I don’t think I could appreciate it like I have today. Mitch makes you part of the story, pulling for your favorite character. I couldn’t stop listening. Thanks Mitch for taking us there. This may be your best yet.

Truth be told

This story was told by Truth and how it affects the lives of three Greek Jews and a Nazi soldier during World War II. I was about 15 minutes from the end of the book when I pulled up to the grocery store. I was crying so hard I had to sit in the car until it was over. very different book. as I find all of Mitch Albom's books to be, but I loved it. I also liked the author as narrator. Incredibly thought provoking.

An incredibly devastating truth.

This is a revealing story of the Holocaust decimation in Greece I’ve never heard or read about.

Amazing story needed now more than ever

This is a riveting story about an awful time. We all say ‘never again’ and yet in October 2023 it happened again. Everyone needs to remember the awful truth and appreciate the amazing tenacity and hope that this story represents.

Mitch has done it again!

I listened to this book is less than one day. His books have always helped heal my soul. Beautiful author, beautiful soul!
