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 plot that thrills at every twist and turn... beautifully written

The Irish 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

Is it possible to marvel at/enjoy/admire/every page of a novel? I swear to a Yes, in the case of the joy-read that is Ayelet Gundar-Goshen's Liar... What a wonderful book

Elinor Lipman, author of Good Riddance and The Inn at Lake Devine

It's been a while since I read such a good book that touched me so deeply and strongly... Wonderful

Amos Oz

Gundar-Goshen is not only an award-winning novelist, she's also a psychologist, and her lightly worn clinical expertise sharpens a witty, nuanced exploration of the treacherous grey area into which Nofar strays

Observer

As a psychologist, Gundar-Goshen wanted to imagine why someone might weave such a story and what effect it would have on her

Jewish Chronicle

A psychological page-turner, rich in setting, character, and wisdom

Kirkus (starred review)

Hypnotic ... entertaining and suffused with erotic tension ... A fascinating if troubling read

The Lady

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

A unique and beautifully written novel that explores the ethics and consequences of lying

CUB Magazine

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

A timely exploration of lies and how willing we are to be deceived...

Jewish Renaissance

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

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

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

Another tour de force from Gundar-Goshen

Shiny New Books

An altogether darker, sharply observed entertainment
