The Lie Tree

by Frances Hardinge   |  Ages 13+
₱440.55
The Lie Tree
The Lie Tree

Dark, mysterious tale of science, lies, and empowerment.

If you're drawn to stories that blend the limitations of society with the boundless curiosity of a strong, young protagonist, "The Lie Tree" might just be the book you're looking to dive into next. It's evocative of the Victorian era's challenges and features a feminist angle that never feels out of time. The novel's blend of historical fiction, mystery, and fantasy elements make it a uniquely compelling read that's difficult to put down.

Description

Faith Sunderly leads a double life. To most people, she is reliable, dull, trustworthy - a proper young lady who knows her place as inferior to men. But inside, Faith is full of questions and curiosity, and she cannot resist mysteries: an unattended envelope, an unlocked door. She knows secrets no one suspects her of knowing. She knows that her family moved to the close-knit island of Vane because her famous scientist father was fleeing a reputation-destroying scandal. And she knows, when her father is discovered dead shortly thereafter, that he was murdered. In pursuit of justice and revenge, Faith hunts through her father's possessions and discovers a strange tree. The tree bears fruit only when she whispers a lie to it. The fruit of the tree, when eaten, delivers a hidden truth. The tree might hold the key to her father's murder - or it may lure the murderer directly to Faith herself.
