Truth to Tell by Mavis Cheek
Should she, instead, try to live without the little white lies that support us all? Her husband thinks it can't be done. Or to resist the attentions of the handsome Italian who wants to show her the city. As Nina entangles herself in a web of deceptions, it starts to look as though honesty might not always be the best policy...
