In the short novels that make up this beautiful collection, Mary
Gordon presents a quartet of finely rendered, emotionally resonant
stories. Here we meet the ferocious Simone Weil during her last days
as a transplant in New York City; a vulnerable American graduate
student who escapes to Italy after her first, compromising love
affair; the charming Irish liar of the title, who gets more out of life
than most; and Thomas Mann, opening the heart of a high schooler in
the Midwest. At every turn, Gordon revels in the interactions and
crucial flashes of understanding that change lives forever.
Entrancing reading, The Liar’s Wife is a wonderful demonstration of
Gordon’s literary mastery and human sympathy.
