Fiction
Set in the 1930s, this poignant, funny, and utterly
original novel tells the story of one lost girl’s
struggle for truth, identity, and understanding amidst
her family’s nomadic, unconventional lifestyle. What’s the right way to behave, to think, to feel—if
you’re always the new girl? How do you navigate life when
you’re continually on the move? Do you lie? How do you
even know if you’re lying? What’s the truth anyway? It’s 1928 and nine-year-old Lucresse Briard is trying to
make sense of life and the jumbled, often challenging
family it’s handed her: a single art-dealer father who
thinks nothing of moving from place to place; her
brother, Ben, who succeeds in any situation and seems
destined for stardom; and their houseman, Fred, who acts
like an old woman. As Lucresse advances through childhood
to adolescence, she goes from telling wild lies for
attention to desperately seeking the truth of who she is
as a sophistication-craving teenager in the 1930s. Told from Lucresse’s perspective as a grown woman, The
Trouble with the Truth transcends its time in the late
1920s and ’30s, and weaves the story we all live of
struggling to learn who we are and the truth behind this
human journey.
