The Carnegie longlisted title, Truth Be Told, from acclaimed author Sue Divin.

Northern Ireland. 2019.

Tara has been raised by her mam and nan in Derry City. Faith lives in rural Armagh.

Their lives on opposite sides of a political divide couldn't be more different. Until they come face-to-face with each other and are shocked to discover they look almost identical. Are they connected?

In searching for the truth about their own identities, the teenagers uncover more than they bargained for.

But what if finding out who you truly are means undermining everything you've ever known?

Sue Divin is a Derry-based writer but, hailing originally from Armagh, can't quite classify herself a 'Derry Girl.' With a Masters in Peace and Conflict studies and a 'day job' in Community Relations/Peace building for over fifteen years, Sue's writing often touches on diversity and reconciliation in today's Northern Ireland. Truth Be Told is her second YA novel for Macmillan, following her debut, Guard Your Heart.

Reviews for Truth Be Told

A compelling, original story that will make you laugh, cry, and laugh til you cry. -- Michelle Gallen, on <i>Truth Be Told</i> Profoundly powerful, subtle and effective, this superb debut evokes the deep-rooted mistrust lingering in the wake of the Troubles, as well as a new, tentative flowering of hope and love. * The Guardian on Guard Your Heart * A compelling, engaging narrative. -- Claire Hennessy * Irish Times on Guard Your Heart *
