Liane Moriarty is a bestselling Australian author whose novels have found international acclaim. She worked in advertising for many years before publishing her first novel in 2003. The change in trajectory proved permanent. She began releasing popular women’s fiction, finding commercial success and a growing readership. Then in the 2010s, her star truly rose with some bestselling novels and television adaptations. Among those works, Big Little Lies is perhaps her most recognizable. It is a story about several mothers who uncover the abusive behaviors of one husband, leading to a death and coverup that brings them all together. It was a New York Times bestseller. It was also adapted to the HBO television series of the same name, starring Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman, Shailene Woodley, Laura Dern, and Zoe Kravitz. The series was incredibly well-received, bringing Moriarty’s work to a broader audience. This first American edition, first printing is signed by Moriarty on the flyleaf.
