Big Little Truths

The new novel from #1 international bestseller Liane Moriarty, and the sequel to the worldwide phenomenon and inspiration for the award-winning TV series, Big Little Lies . . . 'A writer of real acuity and insight' New York Times 'As addictively quaffable as a holiday spritz' The Times 'A deliciously addictive drama that is equal parts juicy, gripping, and impossible to put down.' Freida McFadden, #1 Sunday Times bestselling author 'A hilarious and painfully accurate portrayal of mid-life chaos' Heat, Book of the Week 'Warm, funny, shocking and twisting. Written with such skill and heart, reading Big Little Truths felt like catching up with old friends. I adored it.' Chris Whitaker, Sunday Times bestselling author of All the Colours of the Dark
'I love how Moriarty draws upon real life headlines for her story, while keeping us close to the universal concerns of women' Red 'It's both a thriller and a romcom - and it was worth the wait' Daily Telegraph 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 . . .
