About the Author

Review
“With passion and flair, Palin (of Monty Python fame) details a journalist's quest to discover the truth about a reclusive environmental activist.... It's been a long time since Palin's first novel (Hemingway's Chair, 1998). The wait for this compelling book has been more than worth it.” ―Kirkus, starred review
“The Truth is an ingeniously plotted, beautifully written and hugely enjoyable book that raises tricky questions about the cost of progress, and even trickier ones about our need for heroes, the price of personal compromise, and what Palin calls ‘the uncontroversial assumption that the truth is immutable.'” ―The Daily Telegraph
“Well-crafted, warm hearted--and wholly recommended.” ―Reader's Digest
“Entertaining...delightfully funny.” ―Sunday Express
“Part environmental thriller, part biting swipe at the publishing industry...a thoughtful and generous study of failure.” ―Daily Mail
“The Truth is the perfect example of his literary brilliance--here's hoping he won't leave it so long until his next novel.” ―Stylist
“An entertaining story of hero worship, compromise and grubby trade-offs.” ―Tatler
“It's a feel-good story leaving the reader on a real high.” ―Rachel Redford, The Observer
“Palin's dryly understated exasperation with the absurdities of daily life and his ear for dialogue raise an appreciative smile.” ―The Sunday Times Culture
“Winning characterization, clever plot and deep sense of humanity...it's an unmitigated delight.” ―Choice
“Michael Palin has proved himself a major talent at many things. Storytelling is another.” ―Entertainment Focus
“The Truth is a wonderful, heart-warming novel exploring the issues of media manipulation, private lives and public persona, and the balance of progress against environmental damage.” ―LoveReading UK
“Reads like a dream.” ―Christopher Bray, The Daily Express
“The Truth is a compelling and zippily paced book.” ―Time Out
“It's an enthralling and almost Kipling-esque tale for our times.” ―Metro
