In Conversation With Liane Moriarty

Liane Moriarty, author of the #1 New York Times bestselling Big Little Lies (which inspired the HBO series), returns with a sequel that explores the complexities of modern women's lives, family dynamics, and long-hidden truths.

Ten years have passed since the events of Big Little Lies. Madeline, Celeste, Jane, Renata, and Bonnie's children are now in high school, navigating teenage drama far removed from childhood birthday-party politics. When the high school principal receives a threatening package, parents grow alarmed. Meanwhile, the five women face their own challenges: Celeste contends with her mother-in-law Mary Louise's increasingly odd behaviour; Madeline confronts perhaps her greatest life challenge; Jane stands at a crossroads in her marriage; Bonnie discovers yoga offers only so much comfort; and Renata pursues revenge.

When a stranger begins asking questions around the school, this tightly connected group must finally reckon with the full consequences of the truths—and lies—they have kept from their children. The stakes are now far higher than a missed invitation, and the ice has never been thinner.
