We chat all about The Lie Tree by Frances Hardinge - a feminist gothic read:

'Faith's father has been found dead under mysterious circumstances - her search for clues uncovers a strange tree. Whisper a lie to the tree, and the fruit, when eaten, will deliver a hidden truth to the person who consumes it. The bigger the lie, the more people who believe it, the bigger the truth that is uncovered.'
