About this listen

An Instant New York Times Bestseller

Beloved bestselling author Mitch Albom returns with his most important novel to date, an unforgettable story of truth and lies set during the Holocaust.

Eleven-year-old Nico Krispis has never told a lie. When the Nazis invade his home in Salonika, Greece, the trustworthy boy is discovered by a German officer, who offers him a chance to save his family. All Nico has to do is persuade his fellow Jewish residents to board trains heading “north,” where new jobs and safety await. Unaware that this is all a cruel ruse, the innocent boy reassures passengers on the station platform every day.

But when the final train is loaded, Nico sees his family being herded into a boxcar. Only then does he discover that he has helped send them—and everyone he knows and loves—to their doom at Auschwitz.

Nico escapes—but he never tells the truth again.

In The Little Liar, Mitch Albom examines the human repercussions of deception by interweaving the stories of Nico, who yearns for forgiveness; his older brother, Sebastian, who vows revenge against him; Fannie, the girl who must choose between them; and Udo Graf, the Nazi officer who forever changed their lives with his lies.

Through the war years, the concentration camps, and the decades that follow, Albom reveals the consequences of each person’s honesty and dishonesty, bringing them back to where it all started in a staggering climax worthy of the best of Albom’s internationally embraced stories.

Excellent

This was one of the best stories I have ever read about the extermination of the Jews. Truth tells the story and shows in a magnificent way that what we are told to say is not always the truth. It is also a story of repentance and love.

Riveting saga of Jewish family in WW2

I usually listen to readings in 15 minute increments at bedtime to wind down. with this story, I couldn't stop with 15 minutes and kept resetting the time .
The story was reviting and heartbreaking to hear the way this family andl town was persecuted by Nazis. Using the character of " truth' as the narrator was clever.

Most Interesting

I am never disappointed in a Mitch Albom book. This is the story of what happened to the Jews living in Greece when the Nazis rolled into the country during World War II. I was hooked by the narrator of the story. It was Truth starting his narration with why he was kicked out of Heaven. Even though the story is about the Holocaust, I did not find it depressing because the narration by TRUTH was focused on truth and the consequences of lying. I found the comparison of events between the late 1930s and today most interesting. I highly recommend this book. I think it is one worth reading more than once and you will learn something new each time.

I read this as an audiobook downloaded from Audible. The book is seven hours and forty minutes. The author, Mitch Albom, narrated the book.

Heartbreaking but affirming

What a beautiful book this is. The story of a family fractured by lies and misunderstanding on top of the worst of evils was often difficult to read, but hearing it from the voice of truth made it even more compelling. A must read in my opinion, especially given what is happening to the Jewish community yet again.
