The Lie Tree by Frances Hardinge
In Victorian England a clever, curious girl copes with the disgrace and sudden death that befall her scientist father by taking up his secret work, discovering a strange tree that thrives on lies and yields fruits that reveal hidden truths; she tests its power to expose scandal and vindicate her family, only to find that unearthing truth can be as dangerous and corrupting as the falsehoods it replaces, forcing her to confront the moral cost of using deception as a weapon in a society stacked against her.
