The Lie"Lyrical and haunting With this novel, Dunmore should rank high among writers like Kipling who explore war, its aftermath, and its lies."

"Lyrical and haunting...With this novel, Dunmore should rank high among writers like Kipling who explore war, its aftermath, and its lies."--Washington Independent Review of Books

"A poignant reminder that throughout history, the battle is far from over after a soldier returns home....As this impeccable and finely wrought literary tale winds to a chilling conclusion, readers will themselves be haunted by its evocative portrayal of a life-defining friendship and loss."--Bookpage

Published during the centenary of World War One to astonishing reviews and selected as a Richard and Judy Summer 2014 Book Club Pick in the UK, The Lie is a spellbinding tale of love, remembrance, and deception, set before, during and immediately after World War I, from Orange Prize-winning author, Helen Dunmore.

Daniel Branwell has survived the First World War and returned to the small Cornwall fishing town where he was born. As he struggles to make a living in the aftermath of war, Daniel is drawn deeper and deeper into the traumas of the past and memories of his dearest friend and his first love. Set in France during the First World War and in postwar England, The Lie is a deeply moving and mesmerizing story from one of our most preeminent storytellers.

"Devastating and triumphant...wholly satisfying. Endings are often the hardest beast for an author to tame, but Dunmore does it, with elegance, vigor and clarity."--The Denver Post

"Heartbreaking."--Kirkus Reviews

" A]moving and complex novel...Dunmore does a superb job of capturing her lead's inner torment, even as his story creeps toward a shattering conclusion."--Publishers Weekly (starred, boxed review)

Excellent piece
Color: Light Grey, Size: Queen, Color: Light Grey, Size: Queen
Initially I was worried about the cheap feeling material but when I finally decided to take it out of the bag I was impressed by the “fullness” Of the sheet as it was folded up. Not necessarily sharp and crisp lines but when I was unfolding the sections I was really impressed by the sizing or fit with its deep pockets that cover over my mattress and 5” foundation, the design, and the slightly cool material, despite the wrinkles. This particular light gray of this fabric was one I was looking for for a very long time in mattress protectors, bedsheets, and even iPad cases. I had not found any that were to my liking but this one here by Utopia Bedding is exactly what I was looking for. It definitely sets the tone and mood of my bed and perhaps the overall feel of my bedroom too so it will make it all that much more relaxed and comfortable. It doesn’t seem to fit tightly but it’s long enough to stay in one place.

Soft and Comfy
Color: White, Size: Queen (Pack of 1)
The padding adds just the right amount of softness without making the bed feel too plush or uncomfortable. It fits securely on the mattress and doesn’t slide around during the night, which is something I’ve struggled with using other mattress padsI also appreciate how quiet it is — there’s no crinkling or bunching when moving around. After several washes, it has held up well without shrinking or losing its shape. Overall, this mattress pad is a great combination of comfort, protection, and durability. It’s an affordable upgrade that made my mattress feel fresher and more supportive. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to improve their sleeping experience.

Quality drastically lowered over time
Bought a pack of these about 2 years, excellent quality for the price. Thick, soft, would highly recommend. Bought more of these recently, the quality has gone way down hill. It's about half the thickness that it used to be, and feels way cheaper.
