Miranda Doyle's new memoir is
A Book of Untruths. One of her ten top books about lies, as shared at the
Guardian:
Behind the Scenes at the Museum by Kate Atkinson (1995)
“Just Ruby” is the kind of narrator that you want to dive back to whenever you can. Her all-knowing, tongue-in-cheek accounts of her ancestors’ sad ends is deeply unreliable. Her brain has robbed her of one terrible early memory. Mysteriously lost for weeks at Auntie Babs’s, she returns home to find everyone changed. Even her big sister (not long for this world) is being nice. A big sister who has lied to save herself.
