    "annotation": "<p>A startling coming-of-age novel set in a contemporary Nazi England.<br />Jessika Keller is a good girl: she obeys her father, does her best to impress Herr Fisher at the Bund Deutscher M&auml;del meetings and is set to be a world champion ice skater. Her neighbour Clementine is not so compliant. Passionately different, outspoken and left-wing, Clem is delectably, dangerously political, just like her radical parents. Jessika adores her. So when Clem's future is threatened by the regime, it throws up a moral dilemma for Jess, and she allows herself to face some very difficult questions. <br />THE BIG LIE is a beautifully-told story which is both fascinating and thought-provoking as it explores and questions ideas of loyalty, protest, radicalism and belief</p>",
