Big Little Lies
Autor Liane Moriartyen Limba Engleză Hardback – 29 iul 2014
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.

"Entertainment Weekly"
"Reading one ofLiane Moriarty's novels] is a bit like drinking a pink cosmo laced with arsenic... BIG LITTLE LIES] is a fun, engaging and sometimes disturbing read "USA Today"
"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."
