September Book Club: Big Little Lies
Greetings, dear readers and fellow book lovers! As the leaves begin to turn golden and the crisp autumn air sets in, we invite you to cosy up with a book that promises intrigue, drama, and a dash of dark humour. This September, as we usher in the back-to-school season, our story revolves around parents behaving badly. Prepare to be captivated by a tale where relationships are tested, secrets are uncovered, and the line between truth and deception blurs in the idyllic seaside town of Pirriwee.
Liane Moriarty masterfully weaves together the lives of three women—Madeline, Celeste, and Jane—who are connected by their children’s school and an unexpected murder. What begins as a seemingly perfect suburban existence quickly unravels, revealing secrets, lies, and the complexities of a marriage.
This novel explores the lies we tell to protect ourselves, and the truths that can shatter us. It ignites essential conversations that deserve to be voiced and delves into the profound strength of women.
Fans of the book will be delighted to know that "Big Little Lies" has also been adapted into a critically acclaimed TV series. While the series is fantastic, there’s nothing quite like the experience of reading the book itself. Stephen King has stated that it is “A hell of a good book. Funny and scary.” So you must give it a go!
As the nights grow longer, allow this gripping novel to kindle meaningful discussions. The themes of womanhood may evoke memories of Louisa May Alcott’s “Little Women”, a timeless classic that pairs beautifully with our “Little Women” crossbody book bag. While distinct in tone, both novels explore the resilient bonds among women, their struggles, and the weight of societal expectations.
