Synopsis
New from Walker/Canongate: an uncompromising debut about the trials of growing up and the dark histories we all harbor. Guernsey, 1985. When fifteen-year-old Catherine sees her best friend fall from a wild cliff path, she vows never to tell. But Catherine was the last person to see her alive. 1940. Charlie is also holding back a secret from the adults on the island. As German soldiers arrive on Guernsey, he carries out an act of rebellion with consequences that will reach far into the future - and into Catherine's own life. The Book of Lies is a powerful novel about friendship and betrayal. Weaving together two lives across the decades, it proves that no truth is as simple as it seems.

Review
"Extraordinary... beautifully evoked." (The Times) "She has your undivided attention. The end is brilliantly double-edged, bearing witness, as does the book, to human nature's complexity." (Scotland on Sunday) "An original, compelling and powerful new voice in British fiction." (Hanif Kureishi)"
