Feed it Lies to Uncover Murderous Truths: A Dark Victorian Gothic Fantasy Where Whispered Rumors Bear Deadly Secrets

On the close-knit island of Vane, fourteen-year-old Faith Sunderly leads a double life. To society, she is a modest, well-mannered Victorian young lady who knows her place. In secret, Faith is burning with curiosity and sharp intellect, keeping close watch over her family's secrets—including the real reason they fled Kent and the truth behind her father's sudden death.

In pursuit of justice for her father, Faith searches through his possessions and discovers a mysterious tree that bears fruit only when whispered a lie. The fruit delivers a hidden truth to whoever eats it, giving Faith a dangerous tool to hunt her father's killer. But as her false rumors spread across the island, Faith realizes that lies take on a wild, destructive life of their own.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Winner of the Costa Book of the Year Award, Frances Hardinge crafts a dark, atmospheric Victorian mystery. Combining feminist themes, paleontology, and gothic suspense, this novel appeals to readers who enjoy Neil Gaiman, Philip Pullman, and V.E. Schwab.
