Beschreibung

Mary – a bright but slightly frivolous teenager – is wooed by sweet-sounding sirens; the lure of sexual psychopathy with its compulsive quicksands, the trendy student philanthropies, the fake Edens of the devious egalitarian social worker.Her courage and strength of character are the antidote and the solution to these charlatans and other false flags. They enable her to avoid what Kierkegaard calls, ‘The greatest despair of not knowing who you are.’ She evolves into a sound-minded young woman, who also by her love for a poor and lonely fellow student, not only saves him but also deepens her own spirit.

    “There are some stories that require as much courage to write as they do art. Peter Ho Davies’s achingly honest, searingly comic portrait of fatherhood is just such a story...The world needs more stories like this one, more of this kind of courage, more of this kind of love.” —Sigrid Nunez, National Book Award-winning author of The Friend A heartbreaking, soul-baring novel about the repercussions of choice that “will strike a resonant chord with parents everywhere,” (starred Kirkus) from the award-winning author of The Welsh Girl and The FortunesA Lie Someone Told You About Yourself traces the complex consequences of one of the most personal yet public, intimate yet political experiences a family can have: to have a child, and conversely, the decision not to have a child. A first pregnancy is interrupted by test results at once catastrophic and uncertain. A second pregnancy ends in a fraught birth, a beloved child, the purgatory of further tests—and questions that reverberate down the years.   When does sorrow turn to shame? When does love become labor? When does chance become choice? When does a diagnosis become destiny? And when does fact become fiction?   This spare, graceful narrative chronicles the flux of parenthood, marriage, and the day-to-day practice of loving someone. As challenging as it is vulnerable, as furious as it is tender, as touching as it is darkly comic, Peter Ho Davies's new novel is an unprecedented depiction of fatherhood. Narrated by Christopher Ryan Grant.

    Niyah Smith thought her biggest problem was her parents’ crumbling marriage. But when she’s framed by a crooked cop and sentenced to Bordeaux Behavioral Hospital, she finds herself trapped in a living nightmare. 
    At first, the hospital seems like a place of healing. But Niyah soon discovers the horrific truth: it’s an underground chamber of torture, experimentation and death, all concealed behind a gleaming facade. Ruled with sinister precision by the corrupt Dr. Jackyl and her sister Officer Hyde, Niyah becomes a target for their sadistic experiments.

If they can outwit the diabolical staff and unmask the hospital’s criminal conspiracy before time runs out, they may just save Niyah – and countless other innocent victims. 
    But with twisted minds controlling her every waking moment inside the asylum walls, can Niyah maintain her grip on the truth long enough to survive and expose the hospital’s horror? Her fight for freedom has begun – if only she can survive long enough to see it through to the very end.
