The Lies Among Us

 

“Elements of fantasy and magical realism provide an intriguing framework for exploring the ideas of complicated grief and whether not telling the truth can leave real remnants that affect the world around us.” —Booklist

Granted, this isn't a novel for everyone. They might might find certain triggers they would prefer not to see. Although, it is domestic fiction and the reality is, it can happen. And many are living through similiar scenerios. And some of us feel, it is best to go into this book blind without knowing what it is about.

It is a story of two sisters who have a complete different relationship with their mother. One knows the truth and the other has been living in a fantasy. 

After her mother dies, Hannah doesn’t know how to exist without her. Literally. In fact, Hannah’s not even certain that she does exist. No one seems to see or hear her, and she finds herself utterly alone. Grief-stricken and confused, her sense of self slowly slipping away, Hannah sets out to find new purpose in life—and answers about who (and what) she really is.

Hannah’s only remaining family is her older sister, Leah. Yet even Leah doesn’t seem to notice her. And while Hannah can see and hear her sister, she also sees beautiful and terrible things that don’t—or shouldn’t—exist. She learns there’s much more to this world than meets the eye and struggles to make sense of it all.
