Set in contemporary Mexico, the book charts the consequences of a sexual relationship between Leonora, a servant in the wealthy O'Connor home, and her master. When a child, Aura Olivia, is born from this union, she is brought up as the daughter of the house. As the novel unfolds, the "true" story gradually emerges. As compassionate as it is profound, A True Story Based on Lies delivers the same emotional impact as Toni Morrison's astonishing debut, The Bluest Eye. 1134366 6 2003 A True Story Based on Lies total:7|5:2|4:2|3:3| 7 27 14 2 3 0 false false Sat Oct 25 20:46:12 -0700 2008 Sat Oct 25 21:12:54 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Tue Nov 20 12:33:42 -0800 2007 Thu Nov 15 12:48:43 -0800 2007 Tue Nov 20 12:30:03 -0800 2007 0 0 false false Mon Mar 09 11:44:10 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 09 11:44:10 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Feb 04 16:35:10 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 04 16:35:10 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Sat Nov 08 11:40:05 -0800 2008 Sat Nov 08 11:40:05 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Thu Oct 23 05:16:47 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 23 05:16:47 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Mon Sep 01 18:42:31 -0700 2008 Mon Sep 01 18:42:31 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Fri Aug 15 22:20:36 -0700 2008 Fri Aug 15 22:20:36 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Sun Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sun May 18 11:21:15 -0700 2008 Sun May 18 11:25:07 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Mon Apr 07 05:58:40 -0700 2008 Mon Apr 07 05:59:06 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Fri Jan 18 07:47:42 -0800 2008 Fri Jan 18 07:47:53 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Tue Jan 01 11:51:21 -0800 2008 Tue Jan 01 11:51:30 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Tue Dec 18 18:55:22 -0800 2007 Tue Dec 18 18:55:22 -0800 2007 0 0 false false Thu Oct 25 00:32:45 -0700 2007 Thu Oct 25 00:32:50 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=1146912
