Each story in this series offers a poignant glimpse of family life – the ties we cling to; the ties we try to sever; and the ties that make us who we are. Told from a myriad of perspectives, from a dazzling array of some of the finest short story writers of our generation (including Jhumpa Lahiri, George Saunders, Jon McGregor and Elizabeth Gilbert), Family Snapshots gives us a fresh, empathetic and moving insight into the meaning of family. The Lie is taken from T. C. Boyle's beguiling collection of short stories, Wild Child.

      They were stalled at the lights, a single driver in every car, the cars themselves like steel shells they’d extruded to contain their resentments

      • Luis Héctor Inclán Cienfuegoshas quoted7 days ago
        There was nothing heroic in what I did next, dealing with the baby and my own car and the stalled nose-to-tail traffic that made the three miles to the babysitter’s seem like a trek across the wastelands of the earth—it was just life, that was all
