Ilustration As Books The Lie

Cornwall, 1920, early spring.

A young man stands on a headland, looking out to sea. He is back from the war, homeless and without family.

Behind him lie the mud, barbed-wire entanglements and terror of the trenches. Behind him is also the most intense relationship of his life, forged in a crucible of shared suffering.

Daniel has survived, but the horror and passion of the past seem more real than the quiet fields around him.

He is about to step into the unknown. But will he ever be able to escape the terrible, unforeseen consequences of a lie?

Set during and just after the First World War, The Lie is an enthralling, heart-wrenching novel of love, memory and devastating loss by one of the UK’s most acclaimed storytellers.

Evaluation Appertaining To Books The Lie

This is not the kind of books I usually read but god Im so glad I read this one. Daniels journey through the WWI and post war is something I will never forget. You cannot read this book without feeling the horrors and atrocities of the war cut through your heart. Its a simple story, nothing fancy; its just the reality that stabs you. And coming to the writing, its so graceful, so peaceful and soothing, that relieves you making sure that the worst has past.And lastly, this terrifying tale of

Amazing. Helen Dunmore's writing is rich, powerful and compelling. She is the master of the crescendo ending, fantastic at pacing and overall just so outstanding.

How a lie can have such consequences. Kept jumping backwards and forwards, so a bit comfusing in places. Not quite as good as other Helen Dunmore I have read.

I didn't finish this one simply because it skipped around so much I couldn't get into it enough. The story was interesting to a point but just not enough. I made it 32% through within a week and a half. I normally don't take that long to read/listen to a book. (Listened via Libby/Overdrive)

Another deeply moving book by a writer who never disappoints. Few characters invade this book leaving it clear to concentrate on our hero whose flashbacks to the trenches, the loss of his childhood friend and his torment post war, are at times hard to bear.Skillfully written this book nevertheless lacks any edge of seat excitement. It is like a beautiful painting, in front of which we stand, stare, wonder and move on.

This was an idea spread too thin with not enough plot and or originality. The writing was certainly good, and where the passages handled strong emotion it was very affecting. But not enough seemed to be done with the idea.There are two halves to the narrative: the passages set in the trenches and a later time when the character is trying to readjust to normal life, with little success. The wartime scenes are well realised, although a little meandering. But the sections back in this country are

This was pretty close to 5 stars for me, something I rarely award fiction. My first Helen Dunmore, but I already have another on my wish list. Beautifully written, told in the first person, it is a poignant and moving story which flows seamlessly between events during the Great War and the aftermath. Usually when a story flicks backwards and forwards in time, the changes are delineated by chapters or scene markers. In this story, because we hear it through the main protagonist's thoughts, the
