The Lies You Told: The unmissable bestselling thriller from the author of Blood Orange
Autor Harriet Tyceen Limba Engleză Paperback – apr 2021
O mamă pe fugă. O fiică derutată. O casă plină de amintiri toxice. În The Lies You Told, descoperim o confruntare brutală între instinctul de supraviețuire și greutatea trecutului care refuză să rămână îngropat. Sadie își smulge fiica, pe Robin, dintr-o viață despre care nu poate vorbi și o aruncă într-un mediu nou, o școală de elită unde nou-veniții nu sunt bineveniți, iar regulile sunt dictate de cruzime. Tensiunea este palpabilă: de ce tatăl lui Robin nu i-a urmat? Ce secrete ascund pereții acoperiți de iederă ai casei materne? Reținem un ritm sufocant, construit prin capitole scurte și o atmosferă de neliniște constantă care se acumulează până la un deznodământ ce forțează cititorul să reevalueze tot ce a citit. La intersecția dintre Blood Orange și A Lie For A Lie, această lucrare combină explorarea obsesiilor întunecate cu suspansul psihologic generat de mediul școlar ostil și acuzațiile care pot distruge reputații. Subliniem modul în care Harriet Tyce își rafinează stilul deja consacrat în Blood Orange. Dacă în lucrările anterioare, precum It Ends At Midnight, autoarea explora dinamica grupurilor de prieteni și trădările vechi, aici focalizarea se îngustează spre relația mamă-fiică, transformând protecția parentală într-o armă cu două tăișuri. Textul este tăios, fără ornamentații inutile, reflectând urgența situației în care se află Sadie. Este un thriller psihologic despre prețul tăcerii și despre cum minciunile spuse din iubire pot deveni cele mai periculoase capcane.

Recenzii
A breathless read - with a shocker of an ending!
I read The Lies You Told in two days, barely able to turn the pages fast enough. It's spare and taut, the sense of wrongness building in chilling, skilfully written layers, with a jaw dropping last line twist.
Every bit as intriguing, well-written and addictive as its predecessor
An absolute page turner with a twist you'll read twice because you can't believe you missed it
A clever, immersive read. Harriet's writing is beautifully lucid and I found the story really compelling, giving access to the complexities of motherhood as well as the dangers Sadie faces
Totally addictive - I was gripped
A twisty page-turner from the author of Blood Orange
A gripping and intelligent thriller
With lots of twists and turns, this thriller is impossible to put down
[Harriet Tyce's] intricate world-building has the ability to transplant you into the court room, laying bare the detail with cinematic narrative and gentle tension building.
The perfect beachside thriller
Every bit as addictive and suspenseful as Tyce's 2019 debut, The Lies You Told is a gripping psychological thriller about friends, enemies and what happens when you unwittingly invite a threat into your life
The perfect sunlounger read
We were completely gripped from the first page by this brilliant psychological thriller.
An insightful look at the realities of motherhood and work, and competitive parenting, The Lies You Told is gratifyingly sinister.
As an examination of social mores in the richer areas of north London, this is an effective and entertaining novel. But it is also an alarming study of emotional violence and the perennial conflict between daughters and their mothers.
I read Blood Orange and loved it but this was definitely my favourite of the two
The Lies You Told is exciting and involving, and has a good twist at the end that readers will enjoy.
A cleverly plotted story of revenge
If you loved Blood Orange you'll adore this unnervingly realistic portrayal of a parental nightmare come true.
Shocking, dark, addictive - The Lies You Told is the compulsive new thriller from the Sunday Times bestselling author of Blood Orange.
Can you tell the truth from the lies?
Sadie loves her daughter and will do anything to keep her safe, but she can't tell her why they had to leave home so quickly - or why Robin's father won't be coming with them to London.
She can't tell her why she hates being back in her dead mother's house, with its ivy-covered walls and its poisonous memories.
And she can't tell her the truth about the school Robin's set to start at - a school that doesn't welcome newcomers.
Sadie just wants to get their lives back on track.
But even lies with the best intentions can have deadly consequences . . .
