Big Little Lines
by Liane Moriarty
This is the ideal book
to take on holiday, I
guarantee readers will
not want to put it down!
Playground
gossip with mums,
alleged bullying
by fi ve-year-olds
and accusations
directed to one little
boy who protests
his innocence.
The book unfolds
with stories of the
lives of the mums,
their marriages;
some good and
very complicated,
some seemingly
happy and
fulfi lled. The
quiz night is
approaching with
Elvis Presley as
the suggested fancy
dress act.
A couple fall in love over coffee
and muffins which seem to be
consumed at regular intervals.
There is a brutal assault which
happened a few years ago but
it soon rears its ugly head in the
most unusual circumstances.
Domestic violence and bullying
will reduce you to tears, as a
young girl wants to auction off
something of herself on the
internet without considering
the consequences, to bring
awareness of girls being married
off too young
and helping to
raise money for
charity.
The end
chapter has
twists and turns
and leaves you
with very mixed
emotions.
This book has
been adapted for
television and I
understand there
is a sequel being
made for the big
screen starring
Nicole Kidman.
I hope readers
will enjoy this book
as much as all of
the book group have. I had not
come across this author before
but will defi nitely be looking out
for future titles.
