About this audiobook
The Liars' Gospel makes the oldest story entirely new. Viscerally powerful in its depictions of the realities of the period: massacres and riots, animal sacrifice and human betrayal, it finds echoes of the present in the past.
Naomi Alderman
NAOMI ALDERMAN is the bestselling author of The Power, which was the winner of the 2017 Baileys Women’s Prize for Fiction. It was longlisted for the 2017 Orwell Prize and chosen as one of the best books of the year by the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, NPR, Entertainment Weekly and the San Francisco Chronicle. The Power topped Barack Obama’s list of favourite books from 2017 and has been translated into more than thirty languages. Naomi Alderman grew up in London and attended Oxford University and University of East Anglia.
