The Liar by Ayelet Gundar-Goshen

4.0

The Liar is translated from Hebrew and takes place in Israel, which is one of the reasons I wanted to read it! This book is about the ways a lie can take on a life of its own and spread and effect different people. Nofar’s lie is about a minor celebrity. Obviously he is effected by the lie, as are a variety of minor characters from Nofar’s family, the boy who witnesses the lied about witness, a homeless man, and a police officer. Raymonde also lies about her life and her past and her story overlaps with Nofar’s. I enjoyed the writing in this book and would recommend it.
