'It's been a while since I read such a good book that touched me so deeply and strongly... Wonderful' -- Amos Oz
'Gundar-Goshen skilfully explores various dynamics of power - sexual, coercive, authoritative, familial - and portrays with great compassion and insight the humiliation, loneliness and rage of society's outsiders. A perceptive and exquisitely observed novel, Liar should win Gundar-Goshen a wide international readership' -- Hannah Beckerman, Observer
'A provocative examination of the consequences of deception, Gundar-Goshen's novel is a moral mystery for the thinking reader' -- Lucy Scholes, Financial Times
'A piercing and razor-sharp social commentary that deftly explores how quickly and widely lies can travel, and how we approach issues of morality' -- Culturefly
'Liar offers a modern twist on the Cinderella story... the sheer charm of the storytelling, peppered with the author's dry wit... leaves nothing - not suicide, not even the Holocaust - sacred.' -- Mia Levitin, Spectator
'There s a deliciously enticing darkness at the heart of Gundar-Goshen s third novel... a plot that thrills at every twist and turn... beautifully written... translation is deft and assured. A complex and demanding novel, Liar not only pushes at the boundaries of what individuals are prepared to believe, it also questions the nature of truth itself' -- The Irish Times
'An immensely enjoyable read. Gundar-Goshen has crafted her characters well and their struggles, triumphs and mistakes are all too tragically plausible, particularly in the era of fake news, social media and #MeToo' -- New Books Magazine
'Has the momentum of a psychological thriller' -- Daily Mail
'Gundar-Goshen moves so seamlessly between the plot twists and builds such a vivid and suspenseful story that the book feels like it could be wonderfully translated into film' -- Pendora Magazine
'All the smart people will be reading this one this summer' -- Mr Porter
'Thorny subject for the age of #MeToo, but the author writes with style, humour and compassion about the lies we tell ourselves, the better to live with ourselves' -- Saga
'A thoroughly enjoyable novel with a clear message: lies tend to lead to a deeper deception that can only end in tears. Rare for a lesson in morality to be delivered with such acuity and style - rather like that jacket' -- A Life in Books
'A timely exploration of lies and how willing we are to be deceived...' -- Jewish Renaissance
'Hypnotic ... entertaining and suffused with erotic tension ... A fascinating if troubling read.' -- The Lady
'An altogether darker, sharply observed entertainment.' -- Traveller Magazine
'Another tour de force from Gundar-Goshen.' -- Shiny New Books
'A unique and beautifully written novel that explores the ethics and consequences of lying' -- CUB Magazine
'Enormously enjoyable' -- The Jewish Chronicle
'A deliciously observant story about morality, deception and human craving for attention... deeply insightful' -- Bookriot
'And there, in a nutshell, Ayelet Gundar-Goshen nails it again... This is not to be missed. Particularly in our zeitgeist... sometimes I had to catch a breath' --Lizzy's Literary Life
'The author unfurls her ironic fable -simultaneously timeless and contemporary -from a God's-eye view, with captivating authority and in lush prose [...] A psychological page-turner, rich in setting, character, and wisdom' -- Kirkus (starred review)
PRAISE FOR WAKING LIONS
'[Waking Lions] twists and turns like a thriller, and it is particularly impressive in its moral ambiguities' -- Sunday Times
'[Waking Lions] proves it's not every day a writer like this comes our way' -- Guardian
'If there was a literary prize for nail-biting first lines, Israeli writer Ayelet Gundar-Goshen's second novel, Waking Lions, would win... brave and startling' --Financial Times
PRAISE FOR ONE NIGHT, MARKOVITCH
'Utterly delightful... passionate, funny and very moving' -- The Times
'Sensual, passionate... with a delicate balance of wit and woe... A remarkable achievement' -- TLS
'Wry, ironically tinged and poignant... reminds us that the miraculous is only a step away from the mundane... this is a fable for the twenty-first century' -- Sunday Telegraph
'A lively meditation on love and nationhood... this novel tackles some of the controversial subjects of our time and demonstrates that comedy is a powerful means of exploring serious themes' -- --Independent
Reseña del editor
Frustrated, lonely 17-year-old Nofar has spent an uneventful summer serving ice-cream to indifferent customers. She extends her break moping about her drab life, unwittingly irritating the bitter ex-reality TV star Avishai Milner who is waiting to be served. When Nofar corrects his language after he complains about his wait, he insults and humiliates her. Deeply offended, Nofar rushes out to the backyard, and Avishai-who is still waiting for his change-chases after her. "Leave me alone!" she cries with all of her accumulated rage and hurt. Her screams quickly draw a crowd to the scene, and to her surprise everyone is convinced that Avishai tried to sexually assault her. Now, for the first time in her life, Nofar finds herself the centre of attention. She is lavished with support from the community and the media, who rally round her as the victim of a scandalous attempted assault. Nofar, giddy with newfound power and acceptance, finds that lies slip easily from her tongue, trapping her in a moral dilemma with devastating consequences.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. 'Perceptive and exquisitely observed' Observer 'Provocative' Financial Times 'Has the momentum of a psychological thriller' Daily Mail Nofar is just an average teenage girl - so average, she's almost invisible. Serving customers ice cream all summer long, she is desperate for some kind of escape. One afternoon, a terrible lie slips from her tongue. And suddenly everyone wants to talk to her: the press, her schoolmates, and the boy upstairs - the only one who knows the truth. A heart-stopping novel about deception and its consequences, Liar brilliantly explores how far a lie can travel - and how much we are willing to believe. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Nº de ref. del artículo: GOR009839434
