The White Lie by Andrea Gillies
THE WHITE LIE is a tense, beautifully crafted novel about families and the rationale of secrecy - the terrifying capacity for self-deception in all of us, when we cannot bear to confront the truth. It explores the potential dangers of not dealing with the emotional fall out of grief and loss.
Andrea Gillies has had a diverse career, encompassing theatre publicity work, editorship of an inflight magazine, reference book editing and drinks writing. For a while this meant she had a garage full of booze and free flights to Paris. Her first book, Keeper, about looking after someone with dementia, won the Orwell Prize and the Wellcome Trust Book Prize. She lives in Edinburgh with her family. This is her first novel.
