More About This Book

Overview

When families break down, it’s a moment of truth, in this compelling young adult novel exploring courage, friendship, fidelity, families, and trust

I'm an ocean cliff. He's erosion. I feel a large part of me crumbling into the sea, yet somehow I don't mind at all.

Caitlin and David have much in common. They're the same age, they go to the same school, they're both in the school play—and each of them is watching their family fall apart. It's a violent situation, but violence isn't always physical, and neither are threats. In their own ways, Caitlin and David are in it together, but separate. And somewhere, somehow, inevitably, it all has to come to a head. Bill Condon has written another powerful, memorable novel for young people, with characters who stay with the reader long after the last page is turned.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher
"Condon is an excellent storyteller. In Give Me Truth each character feels so real the emotions throb from the page straight to the reader's heart. . . . Condon's ability to balance the highs and lows, while using dialogue, descriptions and images that are concise and believable, makes his story memorable."  —Sydney Morning Herald

"Bill Condon has built a strong reputation as a prolific writer of YA novels whose work bravely faces uneasy truths. . . . Highly recommended for mid-teens."  —Bookseller and Publisher
