Big Little Lies

Liane Moriarty

Sometimes it’s the little lies that turn out to be the most lethal...A murder . . . a tragic accident . . . or just parents behaving badly? What’s indisputable is that someone is dead. But who did wha... what?Big Little Lies follows three women, each at a crossroads: Madeline is a force to be reckoned with. She’s funny and biting, passionate, she remembers everything and forgives no one. Her ex-husband and his yogi new wife have moved into her beloved beachside community, and their daughter is in the same kindergarten class as Madeline’s youngest (how is this possible?). And to top it all off, Madeline’s teenage daughter seems to be choosing Madeline’s ex-husband over her. (How. Is. This. Possible?).Celeste is the kind of beautiful woman who makes the world stop and stare. While she may seem a bit flustered at times, who wouldn’t be, with those rambunctious twin boys? Now that the boys are starting school, Celeste and her husband look set to become the king and queen of the school parent body. But royalty often comes at a price, and Celeste is grappling with how much more she is willing to pay. New to town, single mom Jane is so young that another mother mistakes her for the nanny. Jane is sad beyond her years and harbors secret doubts about her son. But why? While Madeline and Celeste soon take Jane under their wing, none of them realizes how the arrival of Jane and her inscrutable little boy will affect them all.Big Little Lies is a brilliant take on ex-husbands and second wives, mothers and daughters, schoolyard scandal, and the dangerous little lies we tell ourselves just to survive.

Hele, já mám od začátku roku takový problém. Nedokážu přečíst nic složitějšího. Jako nebudeme se tvářit, že večer co večer usedám k hlubokomyslným knihám a vždycky jsem si libovala v mainstreamovějších titulech, ale věřím, že vzhledem k tomu, že můj vkus formovaly zejména ženy jako Džejna a pravidelně jsem sledovala, co se povaluje na pracovním stole Báry, vždycky jsem nejvíc toužila po[...]

Liane Moriarty je obľúbená vďaka svojim románom, ktoré zobrazujú hlavne životy žien v strednom veku v súčasnej Austrálii, čo samo osebe neznie ako niečo s dramatickým potenciálom, no opak je pravdou.  Veľké malé klamstvá začínajú vraždou - no čitateľ nevie, kto sa stal obeťou, ani kto bol za čin zodpovedný a tak dej plynie retrospektívne od tohto momentu a vysvetľuje udalosti, ktoré k[...]

Liane Moriartyyy – Lianeee, moje srdce spieva, pretože túto spisovateľku jednoducho milujeeem! Keď som začala čítať Lianinu najnovšiu knihu Big Little Lies, hovorila som si, že viem, do čoho idem. Kvalitné písanie, trochu humoru, austrálsky setting, a ak recenzie neklamú, nejaká detektívna zápletka. Ale čo som dostala! Knihu tohto roka! Šialene fantastický román, ktorý túžim nanútiť[...]

Sometimes it’s the little lies that turn out to be the most lethal...

A murder . . . a tragic accident . . . or just parents behaving badly?
What’s indisputable is that someone is dead.
But who did what?

Big Little Lies follows three women, each at a crossroads:

Madeline is a force to be reckoned with. She’s funny and biting, passionate, she remembers everything and forgives no one. Her ex-husband and his yogi new wife have moved into her beloved beachside community, and their daughter is in the same kindergarten class as Madeline’s youngest (how is this possible?). And to top it all off, Madeline’s teenage daughter seems to be choosing Madeline’s ex-husband over her. (How. Is. This. Possible?).

Celeste is the kind of beautiful woman who makes the world stop and stare. While she may seem a bit flustered at times, who wouldn’t be, with those rambunctious twin boys? Now that the boys are starting school, Celeste and her husband look set to become the king and queen of the school parent body. But royalty often comes at a price, and Celeste is grappling with how much more she is willing to pay.

New to town, single mom Jane is so young that another mother mistakes her for the nanny. Jane is sad beyond her years and harbors secret doubts about her son. But why? While Madeline and Celeste soon take Jane under their wing, none of them realizes how the arrival of Jane and her inscrutable little boy will affect them all.

Big Little Lies is a brilliant take on ex-husbands and second wives, mothers and daughters, schoolyard scandal, and the dangerous little lies we tell ourselves just to survive.
