![]() ![]() ![]() She covers all the stereotypes and drops in some enticing tidbits about the drama that will befall this group – it’s all quite fun. Single mum Jane simply has a lot of baggage and is struggling to settle into her new routine.īig Little Lies is pitched as light fare and Moriarty sets the scene in the opening chapters with ever-so-slightly snarky descriptions of mothers of gifted children, women boasting about bathroom renovations and strategic but pointed distribution of invites to a fifth birthday party. Beautiful Celeste seems to have it all – a wonderful husband, gorgeous twin boys, plenty of money – but it’s not what it appears. ![]() Extroverted Madeline is juggling her relationship with her teenage daughter from her first marriage, her ex and her current husband. The story follows three women, each dealing with their own issues but united by the fact that they all have five-year-olds starting school. And yet, this book left me feeling conflicted. Liane Moriarty’s international bestseller, Big Little Lies, has all the hallmarks of terrific school-gate-lit – the grisly details of PTA meetings, cliques, and passive-aggressive care-packages of vegetarian lasagne. ![]()
