Fiction
It’s a rainy December in 1985, and life on the tiny island
of Guernsey has just become a lot more difficult for
fifteen-year- old bookworm Cat Rozier. She’s gone from model
pupil to murderer, having just killed her best friend, the
beautiful and popular Nicolette. But given Nic’s
unforgivable betrayal of their friendship, can we blame her? Twenty years earlier, Cat’s uncle, Charlie Rozier, also
needs to make a confession. He believes that he was betrayed
by his best friend during the Nazi occupation of the island,
and now he wants the truth to come out. Through audio
recordings Charlie left behind before his death and letters
written by Cat’s father, Émile, we piece together Charlie’s
clandestine wartime adventures and the lies buried deep in
the island and within one family. On a small island, you’d think there could be no secrets,
but they are everywhere -- and they are inescapable.
Captivating, moving and full of dark humour, The Book of
Lies takes us on a lively journey with two unreliable
narrators whose unique voices we will not easily forget.
