The Deceptions by Suzanne Leal
Long-buried family secrets surface in a compelling new novel from the author of The Teacher's Secret...
The Deceptions is a stunning example of the way fiction tells war better than any other form - I could taste its madness, its horrorSaw from the outside, its utter absurdity. For days after reading the novel I found myself wrestling with the price of betrayal, and the value of truth. -- Sofie Laguna, winner of the Miles Franklin Literary Award
At what cost can a survivor of hell rebuild a seemingly normal life? The Deceptions is a gripping and tragic story for our times. -- Leah Kaminsky, author of THE HOLLOW BONES
Impossible to put down. Leal is a master storyteller. Mesmerising, heartbreaking, honest - The Deceptions is ferociously good. -- Nikki Gemmell, author of AFTER
Those who grew up in the shadow of the Second World War had Elie Wiesel's Night to define for them the enormity for the Holocaust. Those who were born later can now rely upon Suzanne Leal's brilliant and confronting novel The Deceptions to open their eyes to the true horrors of Nazism. -- Alan Gold, author of BLOODLINE
