Costa Book of the Year: This novel of science, magic, murder, and a determined Victorian-era teenager is a "heady concoction . . . absolutely unforgettable" ( Kirkus Reviews, starred review).
Faith Sunderly leads a double life. To most people, she is modest and well manneredโa proper young lady who knows her place. But inside, Faith is burning with questions and curiosity. She keeps sharp watch of her surroundings and, therefore, knows secrets no one suspects her of knowingโlike the real reason her family fled to the close-knit island of Vane. And that her father's death was no accident. In pursuit of revenge and justice for the father she idolizes, Faith hunts through his possessions, where she discovers a strange tree. A tree that bears fruit only when she whispers a lie to it. The fruit, in turn, delivers a hidden truth. The tree might hold the key to her father's murder. Or, it might lure the murderer directly to Faith herself, for liesโlike fires, wild and cracklingโquickly take on a life of their own.
"Frances Hardinge has joined the ranks of those writers of young-adult fiction, like Philip Pullman, whose approach to fantasy proves so compelling that they quickly develop an adult following, and The Lie Tree is a good demonstration of why this is so . . . [a] page-turner." โ Locus
"The time is nineteenth-century England just after Darwin's theory of evolution has thrown the scientific world into turmoil; the setting is the fictional island of Vane, between land and sea; the main character is a fourteen-year-old girl caught between society's expectations and her fierce desire to be a scientist. . . . A stunner." โ The Horn Book (starred review)
"A murder mystery that dazzles at every level, shimmering all the more brightly the deeper down into it you go." โ Chicago Tribune
"Haunting, and darkly funny . . . features complex, many-sided characters and a clear-eyed examination of the deep sexism of the period, which trapped even the most intelligent women in roles as restrictive as their corsets." โ Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Hardinge, who can turn a phrase like no other, melds a haunting historical mystery with a sharp observation on the dangers of suppressing the thirst for knowledge." โ School Library Journal (starred review)
