I have a reason for this inquiry, which will be explained in the fullness of time!

I'm looking for suggestions of books with unreliable narrators where the narrator is female (besides Larbalestier's Liar, which I've already got in mind). I'd prefer speculative or historical fiction, but if you have a great example from another genre, by all means share it.

Secondarily, I'd love suggestions of books prominently featuring female liars (or con artists) regardless of whether they're unreliable narrators. Again, speculative or historical fiction preferred, but great examples from other genres would be useful too.

The books don't necessarily have to be good, for what it's worth.

([livejournal.com profile] rachelmanija and [livejournal.com profile] sartorias and I tried to think of examples in the car, but with limited success.)

As I recall, it's Condorex, not Harriet, who turns into an unreliable narrator.

Ah. Maybe they'll get Bruce Willis to play him in the film.
