Big Little Lies

莉安•莫利亚提（Liane Moriarty）澳大利亚人，长居悉尼， 曾是澳大利亚知名的广告撰稿人。2004年出版首部小说《三个愿望》（Three Wishes），之后陆续推出了一些以当代都市女子为主人公的现实题材小说。2009年的《爱丽丝忘记了什么》（What Alice Forgot）被福克斯图片公司买下电影改编权；2013年，《别对我撒谎》（The Husband's Secret）出版上市，所到之处一片销售狂潮；2014年，《小谎言》大热，先后登上欧美各大图书榜。至此她成为第一位占据《纽约时报》畅销榜榜首的女澳籍作家。她在澳大利亚文坛的名气无人能敌；不久之后，《小谎言》的电影版权在经历了争抢大战之后，花落奥斯卡影后妮可•基德曼之后。之后她会联袂“美国甜心”瑞茜•威瑟斯彭担纲这部小说改编的同名剧集；2016年，她的新书《TRULY MADLY GUILTY》也将于2016年出版上市。莫利亚提擅长将曲折的情节与性格坚强的女性角色相互结合，情节丝丝入扣，心理描写幽微而逼真。故事叙述娓娓道来，结尾令人诧异唏嘘。精巧的写作手法使得她的小说别具一格，散发出独特的魅力，引发读者强烈的共鸣。

A murder...A tragic accident...Or just parents behaving badly? What s indisputable is that someone is dead.

Madeline is a force to be reckoned with. She s funny, biting, and passionate; she remembers everything and forgives no one. Celeste is the kind of beautiful woman who makes the world stop and stare but she is paying a price for the illusion of perfection. New to town, single mom Jane is so young that another mother mistakes her for a nanny. She comes with a mysterious past and a sadness beyond her years. These three women are at different crossroads, but they will all wind up in the same shocking place.

Big Little Lies is a brilliant take on ex-husbands and second wives, mothers and daughters, schoolyard scandal, and the little lies that can turn lethal.

读后感

This book was recommended by my friend. She just finished watching the mini TV serial and she loved it. She said she run into a bookshop and flipped through the pages trying to find out who was murdered and who is the murderer. As soon as I got a copy from ...  

好久不看这么轻松虽然不怎么愉快的书了。 几个女人的故事，不知道为什么想了Khaled Hossein 的A Thousand Splendid Suns，也是三个女人的故事，虽然BLL的背景和故事是澳洲富人区妈妈们家长里短、闲话撕逼的琐碎小事，没办法跟阿富汗炮火连天下面女性的苦苦挣扎对比，但那些坚...  

用户评价

这是一个纯粹从女性视角来讲述家庭、婚姻和家庭暴力的故事。最终秘密揭开的高潮非常exciting，但有些over dramatic。在揭开死者身份的瞬间我其实有些失望，因为这太简单和理所应当了——虽说可能是ta的念头我都根本没想过。非常好看，人物塑造和情感把控也很成功，遗憾的是略有些虎头蛇尾。

人性之复杂一言难尽 比电视剧交代的多 有意思得多 感动得多

先看了剧，带着许多疑惑和实体角色进入到书，很精彩，并且很容易读！

看到书的后面好像突然就明白了为什么这本书叫《Big Little Lies》。就像Madeline说的：There were so many levels of evil in the world. Small evils like her own malicious words. Like not inviting a child to a party. Big evils like walking out on your wife and newborn baby or sleeping with your child's nanny.因为有了不同性质的恶，所以我们为了掩盖这些恶，选择了撒不一样的谎……

为什么更喜欢文字。
