Big Little Lies follows three women—Madeline, Celeste, and Jane—whose lives become entwined through their children’s school and a series of secrets, lies, and personal struggles. As tensions build in their seaside Australian town, a tragic event at a school trivia night reveals the dark realities of abuse, bullying, and the facades people maintain. The novel blends humor and suspense in a sharp exploration of friendship, motherhood, and the consequences of hidden truths.
