Big Little Truths Returns
Liane Moriarty’s highly anticipated follow-up to “Big Little Lies” opens with mystery, secrets, and a mysterious finger sent to the school principal.
⚠ SPOILER ALERT – This article contains spoilers.
I | t all starts with a mysterious finger sent to the school principal. Liane Moriarty is back with “Big Little Truths,” a book set 10 years after the events of her smash hit novel “Big Little Lies,” which was adapted into the HBO series that captivated audiences worldwide. This time, the secrets run deeper. The lies run darker. And the stakes are higher than ever. |
Ten years have passed since the shocking conclusion of “Big Little Lies.” The five women at the center of that story thought they’d moved on, thought they’d found peace. But a mysterious finger arriving at the school principal’s desk suggests that the past is far from finished—and that someone still has questions that demand answers.
“Some secrets are buried for a reason. But in Moriarty’s world, they never stay buried for long.”
Moriarty has built her reputation on the art of the domestic thriller—the idea that the most dangerous thing in the world is a life that looks perfect from the outside. In “Big Little Truths,” she returns to the suburbs where nothing is what it seems, where gossip becomes gospel, and where the past has a way of violently intersecting with the present.
For fans of the original, this is not a gentle reunion. It’s a reckoning. And that mysterious finger? It’s just the beginning.
