Big Little Truths by Liane Moriarty

Long-buried secrets and fresh scandals shattering the fragile peace of Pirriwee a decade later.

Liane Moriarty returns to her most famous literary landscape with Big Little Truths, the highly anticipated direct sequel to her breakout bestseller, Big Little Lies. Set ten years after the shocking events at the Pirriwee Public School trivia night, the story catches up with the iconic inner circle—Madeline, Celeste, Jane, Renata, and Bonnie—as their children transition from kindergarteners to high school teens. Moriarty masterfully weaves contemporary domestic thriller elements with sharp-witted commentary on modern parenting, aging, and long-buried trauma, setting off a brand-new wave of tension when a mysterious parcel delivered to the high school principal threatens to expose the past.

A decade after Perry Wright’s death, the central women are facing entirely new personal crossroads: Jane navigates a precarious turning point in her marriage, Celeste contends with the increasingly erratic and sinister behavior of her mother-in-law Mary Louise, Madeline faces an unprecedented personal reckoning, and Renata seeks cold, calculated retribution. When a bizarre threat destabilizes the local high school and a strange man begins probing into the community’s past, the core group must finally address the systemic lies they told themselves—and their teenage children—before the fragile illusion of their peaceful suburban lives shatters completely.

“A compulsively readable sequel that showcases Liane Moriarty’s signature wit, seamlessly advancing beloved character arcs while delivering fresh, high-stakes suspense.”

Big Little Truths serves as Liane Moriarty’s long-awaited sequel to her 2014 publishing phenomenon, Big Little Lies. A decade has elapsed since the fateful events at Pirriwee High, finding Madeline, Celeste, Jane, Renata, and Bonnie navigating a shifting domestic landscape dominated by adolescent progeny, marital erosion, and aging relatives—punctuated, naturally, by the arrival of an anonymous severed finger in the mail. With this return to her trademark idiom, the Australian novelist demonstrates her enduring facility for psychological acuity, dry wit, and propulsive narrative momentum.
