The Lying Life of Adults Hardcover $26.00Īs we age, we are continuously able to see the world through new eyes, new perspectives, and the influential structures in our families start to lose their shine as we begin to see them for who they truly are and question ourselves along the way. As always, with a fascination for mavericks, iconoclasts, rascals, rogues and spies, Ben Macintyre has given us another thriller of a history lesson you won't be able to put down.
