Liars and Saints

Maile Meloy

Shortlisted for the Orange Prize for Fiction

'Wise witty and beautifully written Liars and Saints is that rare and wondrous thing: a literary novel you don't want to put down' Helen Fielding


Liars and Saints is an utterly compelling portrait of a family the twists and turns of their lives unravelled with sensitivity and understanding. By turns laugh aloud funny and unbearably moving this is a story that lasts beyond its final pages.

Set in California the narrative follows four generations of the Santerre family from World War II to the present as they navigate a succession of life-changing events. With wonderful characters and a strong emotional heart Liars and Saints has a huge potential market in paperback.
