The Almost Truth : an extraordinary story of family, secrets, identity, and a reminder that love and life can surprise you

'In a life full of books and not enough time to read them, I never read a novel twice. This one I will' Clo Carey

Winner of the Irish Novel Fair 2021

A compelling story of family, secrets, identity, and a reminder that love and life can surprise you… right until the very end.

When Alina’s son, Fin, traces his long-absent birthfather, it’s the catalyst for decades of secrets to implode in Alina’s neatly ordered life.

With the sudden appearance of Rory, and the ever-present pull of a very different life in Bangladesh, she’s left reeling.

Three relationships, all of them built on half-truths. All Alina can truly be sure of, is that you can choose your family, you just can’t choose who they will turn out to be.

'A lovely, compelling read about love, family, and finding yourself' Becky Hunter, author of One Moment

'Intricately explores themes of home, family, identity, love, and loss, inviting readers to ponder the universal truths — and sometimes lies — that shape our lives' Jane Labous, author of Past Participle

'Anne Hamilton handles with ease and grace this complex and compelling 'big Hindi movie' of a novel' Caroline Moir, author of The Brockenspectre

'Set across Edinburgh, Bangladesh and Dublin, mysteries and family secrets abound in this intriguing novel' Elissa Soave, author of Ginger and Me

'A captivating tale of human dilemmas and the consequences of half-truths' Olga Wojtas

'A complex tale of interwoven cultures, told truthfully with humour and outright laughter, but always with Anne Hamilton's trademark sensitivity, understanding and honesty' Paul Soye, author of The Boy in the Gap

'A gripping and brilliantly written novel from a huge new talent' Sophie Hannah
