Elada is a truth-teller, unable to speak an untruth and compelled to always tell the truth. Adele, on the other hand, is a secret-keeper, as closed-lipped and good-naturedly duplicitous as her sister is outspoken. As the twins grow up and into their roles, their abilities help them provide the functions of confidant and advice-giver for the entire town. Occasionally the townsfolk mix up the twins, to sometimes humorous, embarrassing, or disastrous results, accidentally telling secrets to Elada and expecting honest advice from Adele. The secrets they learn unravel over a backdrop of the sisters discovering love, loss, betrayal, and friendship as they first blossom into adolescence and then adulthood.I adored this book. The plot may not sound like anything exceptional, but this is an incorrect assumption as the characters and world Shinn creates are truly delightful to read about. Shinn's exceptional writing brings this book a cut above standard YA fare, creating numerous passages that are simply beautiful. The story unfolds at a languid pace, but I found myself completely enthralled and immersed after the first page. Though the book is relatively short, I feel like I've know the characters my whole life. Their joys and sorrows were powerful and evocative.The world Shinn created is as full and real as her characters. The idea of truth-tellers, secret-keepers, and dream-makers blended seamlessly into the more standard fare medieval-like world. Never did these abilities feel gimmicky or out of place. It was amusing to read about how these abilities brought comfort, strife, and humor into the lives of the various characters. Highly recommended to both YA and adult readers. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Fun read! *by C***N on Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2018* I enjoyed the characters and the story was cute. I'm sad it was over so fast. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best, and most unique YA fantasy series *by M***R on Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2010* When you think of YA fantasy, you tend to think of either magical kingdoms overrun with beasties, or teens suddenly saddled with the knowledge that they are a wizard / god / vampire.But what Sharon Shinn shows is that there's a lot more satisfaction in building complex characters with problems that are human problems. Sure, there are some abilities here that go beyond the everyday -- but only just beyond. This "world" is one that you can easily fall into, and these characters are ones that you can easily identify with.A lovely series of books with lyrical writing and lots of beautifully executed background. This series deserves to be widely read and well known. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/23607717-the-truth-tellers-tale-mass-market-paperback-april-5-2007](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/23607717-the-truth-tellers-tale-mass-market-paperback-april-5-2007) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-27*
