About the Book

Winner of the Costa Book of the Year 2015, The Lie Tree is a dark and powerful novel from universally acclaimed author, Frances Hardinge, and illustrated by Children's Laureate, Chris Riddell It was not enough. All knowledge- any knowledge - called to Faith, and there was a delicious, poisonous pleasure in stealing it unseen. Faith has a thirst for science and secrets that the rigid confines of her class cannot supress. And so it is that she discovers her disgraced father's journals, filled with the scribbled notes and theories of a man driven close to madness. Tales of a strange tree which, when told a lie, will uncover a truth: the greater the lie, the greater the truth revealed to the liar. Faith's search for the tree leads her into great danger - for where lies seduce, truths shatter . . . The Lie Tree: Illustrated Edition is packed full of gorgeous black and white illustrations by double Kate Greenaway Medal winning-illustrator, Chris Riddell, author of the Goth Girl and Ottoline series. 'Brilliant, dark, thrilling, utterly original' Patrick Ness 'The Lie Tree is a wonder. I can't think of anyone who would not love this story' Matt Haig 'I loved this book so much' Lucy Mangan 'Complex and intelligent: a lustrous, delicious romp.' Philip Womack, The Telegraph

Review :
Fun and ingenious, with plenty of cliffhangers [and] a healthy dash of feminism. Hardinge is a hugely talented writer of tireless invention and prose. Hardinge writes with energy and verve. Brilliant, dark, thrilling, utterly original. I loved this book so much. A sinuously beguiling tale of faith, science and murder. A substantial text that is complex and intelligent: a lustrous, delicious romp about evolution and feminism . . . The vivid, beautifully powerful whole plays with genre, language and expectation. This historical fantasy, written with Hardinge's rare precision and originality of language, illuminates the Victorian age and resonates for ours. 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. Stylishly imaginative. The Lie Tree is a fantastic story. It is an important book, not only because it is a great narrative, with great characterization, but because its central message of possibility for an intelligent girl who is out of touch for the age in which she lives is a very important one and relevant for today. A new novel by Hardinge is always an event and this latest has her usual precision and originality of language, while telling an absorbing historical tale.
