The Little Liar

Beloved bestselling author Mitch Albom returns with a powerful Holocaust-era novel that unfolds from a small Greek village to America, weaving the fates of three survivors and the consequences of deception. Eleven-year-old Nico Krispis initially tells no lies, until he is drawn into a cruel ruse at a station: convince fellow Jewish residents to board trains heading “east” for safety, only to discover too late that the journey leads to Auschwitz. The story tracks Nico, his brother Sebastian, and their schoolmate Fanni as they endure the camps, search for meaning, and grapple with the truth—about themselves, the people they trusted, and the love that can redeem even the deepest wounds. Narrated by the voice of Truth itself, The Little Liar explores honesty, survival, revenge, devotion, and the enduring power of redemption across decades.

In this first Holocaust novel by Albom, the lives of the three survivors intersect with the enigmatic Nazi officer who altered their path, and the narrative spans years as they confront the consequences of deceit and the possibility of grace.
