Big Little Lies: A novel (Movie Tie-In Ed.)

For Ages 18+

Now an HBO® original series, the #1 New York Times bestseller about the dangerous little lies we tell ourselves just to survive.

Was it murder? An accident? Or just parents behaving badly?

Big Little Lies follows three women in a seaside town, each at a crossroads. 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 the nanny. She comes with a mysterious past and a sadness beyond her years. While Madeline and Celeste soon take Jane under their wing, none of them realize 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 little lies that spiral slowly, dangerously out of control.
