What’s worse than a big little lie? An even bigger little truth . . .
Ten years ago, at the Pirriwee Primary school gates, the friendships of Celeste, Jane and Madeline were forged in the fires of young motherhood, the big little lies we all tell to hide our deepest fears and secrets – and the event that changed everything.
Now mothers to hormonal teens, these frazzled friends are starting to worry about the strangers occupying their kids’ bedrooms. Or they would, if they weren’t so distracted by their own problems.
Because:
Madeline’s landmark birthday is about to land a bombshell.
Jane’s rock-solid marriage is suddenly crumbling.
And Celeste’s mother-in-law is asking awkward questions about the past.
Not to mention the mystery of who sent the school principal a freshly severed finger.
So many difficult little truths.
Such a pity then that not a one of them can see the biggest ugliest truth hiding in their midst . . .
Big Little Truths is a deliciously addictive drama that is equal parts juicy, gripping, and impossible to put down. I loved diving back into the lives of these unforgettable characters and watching their stories unfold in ways that were both intriguing and deeply satisfying -- Freida McFadden, #1 Sunday Times bestselling author
Oh my GOD. Every time I read a new Liane Moriarty my blood runs cold with jealousy and awe. This book is EVERYTHING. It's brave to write a sequel to an iconic book - but this is a triumph. The plot had me gripped and confounded I'm grateful to Liane for writing it -- Marian Keyes
A hilarious and painfully accurate portrayal of mid-life chaos * Heat, Book of the Week *
Warm, funny, shocking and twisty. Written with such skill and heart, reading Big Little Truthsfelt like catching up with old friends. I adored it -- Chris Whitaker, Sunday Times bestselling author of All the Colours of the Dark
What a dazzling pleasure it is to be in Liane Moriarty’s mind! She captures perfectly the tender agony of trying to parent teenagers, of being suddenly locked out of the inner life of the child you loved more than your own self, even as you are tossed like a sock in the dryer by the rest of your life. The rare sequel that is just as good (and juicy) as the original -- Rufi Thorpe, author of Margo’s Got Money Troubles
I love how Moriarty draws upon real life headlines for her story, while keeping us close to the universal concerns of women * Red *
Equal parts domestic drama and murder, it's exactly the kind of page-turner Moriarty does really best, balancing suspense with the everyday chaos of family life * Image Magazine *
There’s high-school angst, a history project, a severed finger. Most of all, there’s Moriarty’s lovely authorial voice, funny and kind, subversive and dark. A multi-stranded tapestry of midlife in all its dubious glory * Sydney Morning Herald *
Praise for Liane Moriarty * : *
A writer of real acuity and insight * New York Times *
