The #1 New York Times bestseller about the dangerous little lies we tell ourselves just to survive—now with an exclusive sneak peek of Liane Moriarty’s new novel BIG LITTLE TRUTHS.
THE INSPIRATION FOR THE AWARD-WINNING HBO® SERIES STARRING REESE WITHERSPOON, NICOLE KIDMAN, SHAILENE WOODLEY, LAURA DERN, ZOË KRAVITZ, AND MERYL STREEP—AVAILABLE TO STREAM ON HBO MAX®
A murder...A tragic accident...Or just parents behaving badly? What’s indisputable is that someone is dead.
Madeline is a force to be reckoned with. She’s funny, biting, and passionate; she remembers everything and forgives no one. Celeste is the kind of beautiful woman who makes the world stop and stare but she is paying a price for the illusion of perfection. New to town, single mom Jane is so young that another mother mistakes her for a nanny. She comes with a mysterious past and a sadness beyond her years. These three women are at different crossroads, but they will all wind up in the same shocking place.
Big Little Lies is a brilliant take on ex-husbands and second wives, mothers and daughters, schoolyard scandal, and the little lies that can turn lethal.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Behind the binge-worthy HBO series that became a cultural phenomenon is a juicy novel set in a wealthy Australian seaside town. Liane Moriarty’s story of secretive marriages, the daily struggles of motherhood, dark secrets, and murder is narrated by Aussie actress Caroline Lee, who effortlessly captures the book’s biting dialogue and shocking twists. Lee skillfully inhabits characters as different as fiercely protective queen bee Madeline and shy, damaged newcomer Jane, making the story’s perspective shifts fascinating. We adore Big Little Lies’ crackling and unexpectedly funny exploration of helicopter parenting.
Customer Reviews
A nice read.
Enjoyed the book but not the reader. The readers accent and pronunciations got VERY distracting.
A winner
I almost didn’t buy this audiobook because of the poor rating of the reader, but I had enjoyed the author previously. What a mistake it would have been to pass up this one. She was great. It was great. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
Hard to follow
I ended up just watching the movie because the narration is hard to keep up with. There is no real discernible difference in character voice and the mention of a name with every sentence as to who is speaking makes it sound like she’s reading from a play script.
The story itself is great otherwise.
