“The Little Liar” by Mitch Albom
Published by Harper (HarperCollins)
“The Book Thief” has Death as a narrator. “The Little Liar” is narrated by Truth, and
it is so well done. I absolutely loved
every part of this book and in reading it, learned more about the Holocaust
that I was unaware of. This story begins
and ends in the Greek town of Salonika, the town with the highest percentage of
Jewish population of all the cities the Nazis destroyed. It started with about 50,000 Jewish citizens
prior to WWII and was left with a mere 2,000 afterward. I’m glad the author decided to share this
story, for people like me, to learn about how this part of Greece was so strongly
affected. And he did so in such an
interesting way. I highly recommend you
pick it up to read. And if you are an
English teacher, I think it would make for great assigned reading. Not just for the story, but for the writing
and the discussions it could provoke.
