Funny, sad, inspiring, and suspenseful: everything one could want from one story! ( ![]() Wickedly funny. I read the book after I saw the TV series, so was quite surprised to see it was set in Sydney. However, that made it more enjoyable as I could recognise the suburbs and people on which Liane Moriarty had based Pirrawee Peninsula and its inhabitants. This is the Australian novel I've been waiting to read. Stærkt plot med et par gode overraskelser undervejs. Sprogligt, meh. Oh, Calamity! Solid 4-Star I expect the exclamation, “Oh, Calamity!” to enter the English-speaking popular lexicon as this novel gains in popularity. Despite the introduction of so many important characters at the beginning, this novel begins as an easy-to-read account several young Australian moms’ day-to-day involvement in their children’s school. Don’t be fooled. Ms. Moriarity is about to grab you by the shoulders and fill you with a desire to turn the page (or in my case, continue listening). The narrator, Caroline Lee, delivers this novel in the one voice it deserves with all the nuance the author intended. Bravo! Recommended: Yes 5* Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
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.
