About Big Little Truths
’A deliciously addictive drama that is equal parts juicy, gripping, and impossible to put down’ – Frieda McFadden.
It has been a decade since the ill-fated quiz night at Pirriwee High. A man died. Accusations of murder were rife. For mothers and best friends Madeline, Celeste and Jane, the fall out still feels like it happened yesterday. Never mind that their kids have grown into grouchy teenagers with too many hormones. Or that, as their frazzled mothers, they don’t have enough.
Because life always has its challenges, big and small.
So here’s Madeline – carefully planning her 50th birthday party, little realising she’s about to be upstaged.
And Jane – so busy congratulating herself on her happy marriage to Tom, she hasn’t noticed it’s not.
While Celeste, haunted by memories of her dead husband, fears what her very alive mother-in-law will do next.
When the school receives an anonymous package containing a severed human finger, following reports of a creepy man lurking around students, (un-severed) fingers get pointed .
Is this mischief, incrimination or even murder? A lie masquerading as the truth? Or a secret just waiting to come out?
