'Perceptive and exquisitely observed' Observer
'Provocative' Financial Times
'Has the momentum of a psychological thriller' Daily Mail
Nofar is just an average teenage girl - so average, she's almost invisible. Serving customers ice cream all summer long, she is desperate for some kind of escape. One afternoon, a terrible lie slips from her tongue. And suddenly everyone wants to talk to her: the press, her schoolmates, and the boy upstairs - the only one who knows the truth.
A heart-stopping novel about deception and its consequences, Liar brilliantly explores how far a lie can travel - and how much we are willing to believe.
In the late 1930s, two men - Yaacov Markovitch, perennially unlucky
in love, and Zeev Feinberg, virile owner of a lustrous moustache -
are crossing the sea to marry women they have never met. They will
rescue them from a Europe on the brink of catastrophe, bring them
to the Jewish homeland and go their separate ways. But when
Markovitch is paired with the beautiful Bella he vows to make her
love him at any cost, setting in motion events that will change
their lives in the most unexpected and capricious of ways. Ayelet
Gundar-Goshen was born in Israel in 1982. She holds an MA in
Clinical Psychology from Tel Aviv University, has been a news
editor on Israel's leading newspaper and has worked for the Israeli
civil rights movement. Her film scripts have won prizes at
international festivals, including the Berlin Today Award and the
New York City Short Film Festival Award. One Night, Markovitch, her
first novel, won the Sapir Prize for best debut.

'Gripping . . . twists and turns like a thriller' Sunday Times
'Brave and startling' Financial Times 'Classy . . . suspenseful'
The Times 'I loved everything about it' Daily Mail 'Exhilarating'
Guardian Dr Eitan Green is a good man. He saves lives. Then,
speeding along a deserted moonlit road in his SUV after an
exhausting hospital shift, he hits someone. Seeing that the man, an
African migrant, is beyond help, he flees the scene. It is a
decision that changes everything. Because the dead man's wife knows
what happened. And her price is not money. It is something else
entirely. A gripping, suspenseful and morally devastating drama of
guilt and survival, shame and desire. It looks at the darkness
inside all of us to ask: what would we do? What are any of us
capable of?
