The Lie"Lyrical and haunting With this novel, Dunmore should rank high among writers like Kipling who explore war, its aftermath, and its lies."

"Lyrical and haunting...With this novel, Dunmore should rank high among writers like Kipling who explore war, its aftermath, and its lies."--Washington Independent Review of Books

"A poignant reminder that throughout history, the battle is far from over after a soldier returns home....As this impeccable and finely wrought literary tale winds to a chilling conclusion, readers will themselves be haunted by its evocative portrayal of a life-defining friendship and loss."--Bookpage

Published during the centenary of World War One to astonishing reviews and selected as a Richard and Judy Summer 2014 Book Club Pick in the UK, The Lie is a spellbinding tale of love, remembrance, and deception, set before, during and immediately after World War I, from Orange Prize-winning author, Helen Dunmore.

Daniel Branwell has survived the First World War and returned to the small Cornwall fishing town where he was born. As he struggles to make a living in the aftermath of war, Daniel is drawn deeper and deeper into the traumas of the past and memories of his dearest friend and his first love. Set in France during the First World War and in postwar England, The Lie is a deeply moving and mesmerizing story from one of our most preeminent storytellers.

"Devastating and triumphant...wholly satisfying. Endings are often the hardest beast for an author to tame, but Dunmore does it, with elegance, vigor and clarity."--The Denver Post

"Heartbreaking."--Kirkus Reviews

" A]moving and complex novel...Dunmore does a superb job of capturing her lead's inner torment, even as his story creeps toward a shattering conclusion."--Publishers Weekly (starred, boxed review)

Comfy and warm for everyday wear
Size: Medium, Color: Navy Full Zip
I bought this Fruit of the Loom Eversoft Fleece Hoodie for my husband and he realy likes how soft it feels on the inside. The fabric is thick enough to keep him warm during his morning walks but it is still breathable so he doesnt get too sweaty while he is moving around. It has that moisture-wicking feature which is great because it stays dry even when it is a bit humid outside. The fit is just right and the hood stays up good without being too tight around his neck. It is hard to find hoodies that dont pill up after the first wash but this one has held up great so far and still looks brand new. For the price it is a total steal and much better quality than some of the more expensive brands we have tried before. I will definitely be ordering a few more colors for him soon.

Thinner fabric than usual.
Size: Large, Color: Black Heather Full Zip
Good quality, but much thinner fabric than my other hoodie sweatshirts. Because of this, I have not been wearing it, but instead I've been wearing the thicker ones I already owned. This item was a good price; now I see why. It's too light for winter, and too heavy for summer. Not sure when it will be useful.

Good value

They fit and they stay on my feet (I was worried because these are slip-ons).
