About this book

An excuse can protect us. A convenient story can give us an advantage. Why, then, should we remain honest? This essay follows the question from the child who lies to the adult who must keep different versions of a life in line. Moving between parenting and self-knowledge, relationships and outward splendour, it examines the price we pay in our relationship with ourselves.
