Alice Love is twenty-nine, crazy about her husband, Nick, and pregnant with their first child. So imagine Alice's surprise when she comes to on the floor of a gym (a gym! she HATES the gym!) and is whisked off to the hospital, where she discovers the honeymoon is truly over: She is actually thirty-nine years old, has three kids, and is getting divorced. That knock on her head has misplaced ten years. Now Alice must piece together the events of the lost decade, and find out if it's possible to reconstruct her life at the same time. She needs to figure out why her sister hardly talks to her, and how is it that she's become one of those super skinny moms with really expensive clothes. Ultimately, Alice must discover whether forgetting is a blessing or a curse-and how to start over...

я\How can ten years of your life just disappear? Alice is twenty-nine. She adores sleep, chocolate, and her ramshackle new house. She's newly engaged to the wonderful Nick, and is pregnant with her first baby. But there's just one problem.

Now she's a grown-up, bossy mother of three in the middle of a nasty divorce and her beloved sister Elisabeth isn't speaking to her. This is her life, but not as she knows it. Just how many mistakes can you make in a decade? Can she ever get back to the woman she used to be?

"The Husband's Secret is a staggeringly brilliant novel. It is literally unputdownable." (Sophie Hannah). At the heart of the top ten bestselling The Husband's Secret by Liane Moriarty is a letter that's not meant to be read...Mother of three and wife of John-Paul, Cecilia discovers an old envelope in the attic. Written in her husband's hand, it says: to be opened only in the event of my death. Curious, she opens it - and time stops. John-Paul's letter confesses to a terrible mistake which, if revealed, would wreck their family as well as the lives of others. Cecilia - betrayed, angry and distraught - wants to do the right thing, but right for who? If she protects her family by staying silent, the truth will worm through her heart. But if she reveals her husband's secret, she will hurt those she loves most...Perfect for fans of Jodi Picoult, or anyone who enjoyed One Moment, One Morning or The Midwife's Confession, The Husband's Secret by Liane Moriarty is about the things we know, the things we don't, and whether or not we ever get to choose.

Мэдлин — сила, с которой нужно считаться. Она весёлая и едкая, страстная, всё помнит и никого не прощает. Ее бывший муж и его новая жена-йога переехали в ее любимый прибрежный поселок, а их дочь учится в том же классе детского сада, что и младшая Мэдлин (как это возможно?). И в довершение всего, дочь-подросток Мэдлин, похоже, предпочитает бывшего мужа Мэдлин ей. (Как это возможно?). Селеста — красивая женщина, которая заставляет мир останавливаться и смотреть. Хотя временами она может показаться немного взволнованной, но кто бы не был с этими буйными мальчиками-близнецами? Теперь, когда мальчики идут в школу, Селеста и ее муж, похоже, станут королем и королевой школьного родительского общества. Но за роялти часто приходится платить, и Селеста пытается решить, сколько еще она готова заплатить. Недавно прибывшая в город мать-одиночка Джейн настолько молода, что другая мать принимает ее за няню. Джейн грустит не по годам и питает тайные сомнения по поводу своего сына. Но почему? Хотя Мэдлин и Селеста вскоре берут Джейн под свое крыло, никто из них не осознает, как появление Джейн и ее загадочного маленького мальчика повлияет на них всех. «Большая маленькая ложь» — это блестящий взгляд на бывших мужей и вторых жен, матерей и дочерей, скандал на школьном дворе и опасную маленькую ложь, которую мы говорим себе, чтобы выжить.Madeline is a force to be reckoned with. She's funny and biting, passionate, she remembers everything and forgives no one. Her ex-husband and his yogi new wife have moved into her beloved beachside community, and their daughter is in the same kindergarten class as Madeline's youngest (how is this possible?). And to top it all off, Madeline's teenage daughter seems to be choosing Madeline's ex-husband over her. (How. Is. This. Possible?). Celeste is the kind of beautiful woman who makes the world stop and stare. While she may seem a bit flustered at times, who wouldn't be, with those rambunctious twin boys? Now that the boys are starting school, Celeste and her husband look set to become the king and queen of the school parent body. But royalty often comes at a price, and Celeste is grappling with how much more she is willing to pay. New to town, single mom Jane is so young that another mother mistakes her for the nanny. Jane is sad beyond her years and harbors secret doubts about her son. But why? While Madeline and Celeste soon take Jane under their wing, none of them realizes how the arrival of Jane and her inscrutable little boy will affect them all. Big Little Lies is a brilliant take on ex-husbands and second wives, mothers and daughters, schoolyard scandal, and the dangerous little lies we tell ourselves just to survive.
