Big Little Lies
Autor Liane Moriartyen Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 mai 2015
Ritmul lecturii în Big Little Lies este unul stratificat, alternând cu abilitate între lejeritatea aparentă a unei comunități costiere înstărite și tensiunea surdă a unei catastrofe iminente. Suntem de părere că forța acestui roman, scris original în limba engleză, rezidă în modul în care Liane Moriarty desface, strat cu strat, fațada perfecțiunii suburbane pentru a scoate la iveală secretele brutale ascunse în spatele gardurilor vii bine întreținute. Găsim aici o explorare psihologică fină a trei arhetipuri feminine: Madeline, impulsivă și loială; Celeste, a cărei frumusețe maschează o suferință profundă; și Jane, tânăra mamă singură care fuge de un trecut traumatic. Cei care au parcurs The Lying Club de Annie Ward vor fi pregătiți pentru atmosfera densă de la porțile unei școli de elită, unde bârfele și ierarhiile sociale devin mecanisme de supraviețuire sau de distrugere. Spre deosebire de alte lucrări ale autoarei, precum Here One Moment, unde elementul neprevăzut are o tentă aproape supranaturală, Big Little Lies rămâne ancorat în realismul crud al relațiilor interumane. Putem afirma că romanul reușește o echilibristică rară, fiind simultan o satiră socială acidă și un studiu empatic asupra traumei. Față de The Husband's Secret, această operă amplifică miza colectivă, demonstrând cum minciunile individuale se pot propaga până când întregul fundament al unei comunități se prăbușește sub propria greutate.

Descriere
** The number one bestseller Big Little Lies is now a highly anticipated HBO series starring Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon, Michael Fassbender and Shailene Woodey **
Perfect family, perfect house, perfect life; Jane, Madeline and Celeste have it all . . . or do they? They are about to find out just how easy it is for one little lie to spiral out of control.
From the author of Truly Madly Guilty and The Husband's Secret comes a novel about the dangerous little lies we tell ourselves just to survive.
Jane hasn't lived anywhere for longer than six months since her son was born five years ago. She keeps moving in an attempt to escape her past. Now the idyllic coastal town of Pirriwee has pulled her to its shores and Jane feels as if she finally belongs. She finds friends in the feisty Madeline and the incredibly beautiful Celeste, two women with seemingly perfect lives - and their own secrets.
But at the start of a new term, an incident involving the children of all three women occurs in the playground, causing a rift between them and other parents. Minor at first but escalating fast, until the whispers and rumours become vicious and spiteful, and the truths blur into lies.
It was always going to end in tears, but no one thought it would end in murder . . .
