    About this audiobook

    An instant New York Times Bestseller

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

    Eleven-year-old Nico Krispis has never told a lie. His schoolmate, Fannie, loves him because of it. Nico’s older brother Sebastian resents him for both these facts. When their young lives are torn apart during the war, it will take them decades to find each other again. 

    Nico’s innocence and goodness is used against his tightly knit community when a German officer barters Nico’s reputation for honesty into a promise to save his loved ones. When Nico realizes the consequences of the betrayal, he can never tell the truth again. He will spend the rest of this life changing names, changing locations and identities, desperate to find a way to forgiveness—for himself and from the people he loves most.

    Albom’s extraordinary storytelling is at its powerful best in his first novel to confront the destruction that lying can wreak both on the world stage as well as on the individual lives that get caught up in it. As The Stranger in the Lifeboat spoke to belief, The Little Liar speaks to hope, in a breathless page-turner that will break your heart open and fill it with the power of the human spirit and the goodness that lies within us all.

    Narrated by the voice of Truth itself, The Little Liar is a timeless story about the power of love to ultimately redeem us, no matter how deeply we blame ourselves for our mistakes.

      History is something we should all learn from which is what this book provides in addition to a heartfelt story of fictional characters. I encourage young adults to read and share this book with friends so that Never Again will mankind experience this or anything like this in the future.

      What a heart breaking story. Beginning at the start of WWII in Greece and ending in the 1980’s. This was a story of 3 teenagers, 2 brothers and their friend.
      I’ve never read any books by Mitch Albom. I think that will be changing. Excellent book

    • 5/5
      This book is emotionally riveting. This should be required reading for students.
    • 5/5
      This book portrays so many aspects of the Holocaust - things many do not know but need to hear. Albom’s story is a tremendous vehicle for this. And he doesn’t stop at the war’s end, but shows the ongoing trauma. He also foreshadows what could happen anywhere.

      It was an incredible read! Thanks you Mitch Albom for a wonderful story.
    • 4/5
      Heartbreakingly relevant to current world events and history repeating itself with impassioned anti-semitism. I will long remember the imagery of the German clown and his final decision.
    • 5/5
      Hard to read but captivating. I didn't want to stop listening even though it was difficult to hear some of the atrocities that people are capable of. Could it be a peer into our own future if we don't learn from history?

      Meh!
      Shallow, hokey telling of a story that should be harrowing and extremely emotional. Plus the Truth narrator angle just seems like a lame rip-off of The Book Thief.

      The story is sad but redemptive at the same time. Mitch Albom is not only a great writer, he’s a great reader as well.
