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 . . .

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 . . .

Critic reviews

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)
Warm, funny, shocking and twisty. 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)
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)
Praise for Liane Moriarty
Blame and guilt, forgiveness and retribution, love and betrayal. A tense, page-turning story . . . a great read
Blending romance, comedy and mystery, this is a wonderful book - full of brains, guts and heart
A hell of a good book. Funny and scary (Stephen King)
Brilliant, standout, superbly clever. Moriarty writes vividly, wittily and wickedly
