«Bande de menteurs» is Mary Karr's memoir, published by Pocket in paperback (447 pages, in French).
In 1961, in Leechfield (Texas), Mary is seven years old and comes under the gaze of a doctor and the sheriff after her mother tries to attack her. Thirty years later, the author evokes her childhood and her unconventional family: a working-class, brawling father, an alcoholic mother married seven times, a rebellious older sister, and a tyrannical grandmother.
This French edition is from 1999. The original, «The Liars' Club: A Memoir», was published in English in 1995. It won the PEN/Martha Albrand Award for First Nonfiction Writers (1996).
Recommended for readers of memoirs, autobiographies, and family stories; it is also a frequent choice in book clubs.
