St. Louis, MO: St. Louis Jewish Book Festival

Beloved bestselling author Mitch Albom returns with his most important novel ever, inspired by real events. A powerful story about truth and lies, The Little Liar, Albom’s first novel set against the backdrop of the Holocaust moves from a small neighborhood in Salonika, Greece, through the concentration camps of Auschwitz, to post-war America, all in Albom’s signature style of pathos, inspiration and brisk, tight storytelling. Nico, who becomes a pathological liar, his brother Sebastian, and their schoolmate Fannie, who survive the death camps and marry as teenagers, and Udo Graf, the Nazi officer who duped Nico into losing his soul all find their stories masterfully intertwined. Scattered after the war, they spend years interweaving with one another, each paying a price for their haunting experiences, and coming together decades later in an unforgettable and heart-wrenching climax.
