About the Book

WINNER OF THE 2015 COSTA BOOK OF THE YEAR "A hugely talented writer of tireless invention and prose" Guardian "Brilliant, dark, thrilling, utterly original" Patrick Ness The Lie Tree is a wonderfully evocative and atmospheric novel by Frances Hardinge, award-winning author of Cuckoo Song and Fly By Night. Faith's father has been found dead under mysterious circumstances, and as she is searching through his belongings for clues she discovers a strange tree. The tree only grows healthy and bears fruit if you whisper a lie to it. The fruit of the tree, when eaten, will deliver a hidden truth to the person who consumes it. The bigger the lie, the more people who believe it, the bigger the truth that is uncovered. The girl realizes that she is good at lying and that the tree might hold the key to her father's murder, so she begins to spread untruths far and wide across her small island community. But as her tales spiral out of control, she discovers that where lies seduce, truths shatter . . . PRAISE FOR THE LIE TREE "A sinuously beguiling tale of faith, science and murder" Sunday Times News Review "This historical fantasy, written with Hardinge's rare precision and originality of language, illuminates the Victorian age and resonates for ours." Nicolette Jones, The Sunday Times Children's Book of the Year "Throwing evolution, feminism and revenge tragedy together, The Lie Tree is a thrilling, gleamingly involving novel that anyone might enjoy, with gorgeous, lush writing matched by a vividly hooking plot." Philip Womack, The Literary Review

About the Author :
Frances Hardinge spent a large part of her childhood in a huge old house that inspired her to write strange stories from an early age. She read English at Oxford University, then got a job at a software company. However, a few years later a persistent friend finally managed to bully Frances into sending a few chapters of Fly by Night, her first children's novel, to a publisher. Macmillan made her an immediate offer. The book went on to publish to huge critical acclaim and win the Branford Boase First Novel Award. The Lie Tree is Frances's seventh novel.

Review :
The Lie Tree is brilliant: dark, thrilling, utterly original. Everyone should read Frances Hardinge. Everyone. Right now. The Lie Tree is a wonder. I can't think of anyone who would not love this story. I loved this book so much. Complex and intelligent: a lustrous, delicious romp.
