The Faraday Girls by Monica McInerney

This is the newest book by Monica McInerney (see post about The Alphabet Sisters below). As with that one, this is a story about families and how they relate to one another. In this one, the five Faraday sisters have kept telling a lie for 20 years - to protect each other, to protect their father, and to protect their beloved niece. When the truth comes out, the solution involves more lies which brings up the question - when do lies hurt and when are they good? Not necessarily a nice, tidy ending but one that fit the characters...and the lies.
