Shortlisted for the Orange Prize - this wonderful debut novel about family secrets is a perfect book for the summer

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.

Maile Meloy lives in California. On publication in the US, Liars and Saints drew acclaim from readers and reviewers across the country. This is Maile Meloy's first novel. Her second novel, A FAMILY DAUGHTER, was published in February 2006, and her collection of short stories, HALF IN LOVE, in March 2005, both by John Murray.

'This remarkably assured debut novel succeeds in being both intimate in feel and broad in outlook moving, compassionate and amusing' [Daily Mail]'A tale worthy of the Greeks ... While there is plenty of feeling its pages, none of it crystallises into sentimentality ... spare, sturdy prose' [Observer]'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]'A spectacular first novel' [New York Times]'Quiet, unastonished precision an impressive achievement' [Philip Roth]
