a tragedy that occurred during a trivia night in the local elementary

The Hypnotist's Love Story was good, the Husband's Secret was better,
but Big Little Lies is the best. I was captivated from the first page,
as I waited to figure out the mystery as to what was going to happen to
these amazing characters on Trivia Night. The book is told by multiple
voices, particularly Madeline, Celeste and Jane, each one had a distinct
voice and a point of view that felt familiar, yet in this author's
competent hands totally unique.
Madeline Martha Mackenzie is a 40
year old throw-back to the screw ball comedies. She has the mouth, the
wardrobe and her heart is in the right place when not suffering from her
monthly PMS. She lives in the same town with her ex-husband, Nathan
and his yoga chanting, euphorically perfect second wife, Bonnie. Nathan
left Madeline and their newborn infant 14 years ago, and while Madeline
has re-married a wonderful man and has two children with him, it still
hurts that their 14 year old daughter now wants to live with her ex and
his wife.
It would seem that Celeste has it all. She is a
beautiful woman, married to a very wealthy man, Perry, and has two
adorable twin boys attending Pirriwee Public School. What looks to be a
perfect relationship to others, can become toxic when the couple is
behind closed doors. This is a fact that is finally becoming glaringly
clear, even to Celeste.
Jane is a single mother raising her five
year old boy, Ziggy, with the help of her mother and father, who live
near by. She has just moved to the Pirriwee Peninsula, after taking
leases in different apartments across Sydney, hoping to finally find a
"life that worked". Once an outgoing career oriented 19 year old, she
bears the scars of a disastrous sexual encounter.
As
serendipitously as it was meant to happen, on her way to kindergarten
orientation, Jane stops to help a slightly injured Madeline after a
fender bender. Having their children in the same kindergarten class is
the impetus that brings Celeste, Madeline and Jane together. While all
three woman are experiencing troubles, some certainly more serious than
the others, they are drawn together and stick together. Jane has a real
support system from her new friends, when Ziggy is accused of bullying
a female kindergarten classmate of a high powered attorney. When a
petition is circulated to try and have Ziggy suspended from the school,
it divides the parents of Pirriwee Public school into two factions.
This
is chick literature with a sting, that is both funny, intelligent and
ultimately moving. There is simply so much to recommended about this
book, written by an author who has proven herself incapable of creating a
one dimensional character or a boring plot. The characterizations are
perfect, the Australian setting idyllic, the pacing perfect as there is
not one unnecessary page, the character's interconnections realistic
and touching.. The story is full of clever dialogue and laugh out loud
moments, while never losing sight that the subject matter is at times
complex. I have to admit I did not like the ending of The Husband's
Wife, this time all the subplots converge at the right time and place,
giving the narration a most satisfying ending. Big Little Lies is
filled with sharp observations about domestic abuse, bullying, second
marriages, self-esteem, parenting, friendship and second chances. "Oh
calamity" what an enjoyable book. Very Highly Recommended.
