درباره کتاب دروغ‌های کوچک بزرگ نوشته لیان موریارتی:

گاهی دروغ‌های کوچک مرگ‌بار است. «دروغ‌های کوچکِ بزرگ» قصه کسانی را روایت می‌کند که به دلیل ترس از آبرو، اسرار زندگی‌شان را به هیچ‌کس حتی دوستان و نزدیکان خود بیان نمی‌کنند. قتلی رخ می‌دهد که والدین همه دانش‌آموزان یک مدرسه را تحت تأثیر قرار می‌دهد. «جین» یکی از مادرهای مدرسه است. او قربانی اشتباه و رفتار مردی شده است که سال‌ها بر زندگی او سایه انداخته است و از نظر مخاطب اولین متهم قتل به حساب می‌آید اما این همه ماجرا نیست. مخاطب بیشتر از اینکه به فکر قاتل باشد دوست دارد بداند چه کسی به قتل رسیده است. داستان «لیان موریارتی» شما را تا آخرین صفحه می‌کشاند تا پاسخ سؤال خود را بیابید. لیان موریارتی در این کتاب دکتر جکیل و آقای هاید دیگری خلق می‌کند. او نشان می‌دهد گاهی انجام کار غلط بهتر است.

« اصلاً شبیه تیریویا  نیست. » این را پَتی پاندر   به گربه اش ماری آنتوانت گفت. « شبیه میدون جنگه. »
گربه پاسخ او را نداد. در حال چرت زدن بود و به نظرش مهمانی تیریویا اتفاق بی اهمیتی بود.
« برات مهم نیست، نه؟ با خودت فکر می کنی به ما چه؟ بذار کیک بخورن و خوش باشن. امشب یه عالمه کیک می خورن. البته فکر نکنم مادرهای مدرسه زیاد کیک بخورن. همشون لاغرن. مثل تو. »
ماری آنتوانت انگار به حرف او خندید.
خانم پاندر کنترل تلویزیون را برداشت و صدای برنامه ی « رقص با ستاره ها » را کم کرد. فقط برای این که صدای باران را نشنود صدای تلویزیون را زیاد کرده بود و حالا شدت بارش باران کم شده بود.
صدای فریاد پدر و مادرها به گوش می رسید. شنیدن صدای آن ها خانم پاندر را آزار می داد. گویی همه ی آن خشونت به سمت او روانه شده بود ( خانم پاندر در کنار مادری پرخاشگر بزرگ شده بود. )
« خدای من، فکر می کنی درباره ی این که پایتخت گواتمالا  کجاست دعوا می کنن؟ تو می دونی پایتخت گواتمالا کجاست؟ باید تو گوگل پیداش کنم. مسخره م نکن! »
ماری آنتوانت بو کشید.
« بریم ببینیم چه خبره. » و به سرعت سمت در حرکت کرد. نگران بود و سعی می کرد جلو گربه اش نگرانی خود را بروز ندهد. درست مانند زمانی که صدایی از بیرون به گوش می رسید و دلش نمی خواست نگرانی خود را جلو فرزندان و در نبود پدرشان نشان دهد.
خانم پاندر با کمک واکر از جای خود بلند شد. ماری آنتوانت به آرامی خود را بین پاهای خانم پاندر جا داد؛ همان پاهایی که به زور واکر و آرام سمت پشت خانه می رفت.
اتاق خیاطی او رو به حیاط مدرسه بود.
وقتی تصمیم گرفت این خانه را بخرد دخترش به او گفته بود: « وای مامان! دیوونه شدی؟ »
اما خانم پاندر عاشق شنیدن صدای بچه ها در زنگ تفریح بود. دیگر توانایی رانندگی هم نداشت پس دیگر اهمیتی ندارد در این خیابان شلوغ که پر از ماشین های بزرگ شاسی بلند است و خانم های شیک پشت فرمان آن نشسته و درباره ی رقص باله هریت یا چارلی ….

توصیحات کتاب Big Little Lies :

From the author of Truly Madly Guilty and The Husband s Secret comes a novel about the dangerous little lies we tell ourselves just to survive

A murder…A tragic accident…Or just parents behaving badly? What’s indisputable is that someone is dead.

Madeline is a force to be reckoned with. She’s funny, biting, and passionate; she remembers everything and forgives no one. Celeste is the kind of beautiful woman who makes the world stop and stare but she is paying a price for the illusion of perfection. New to town, single mom Jane is so young that another mother mistakes her for a nanny. She comes with a mysterious past and a sadness beyond her years. These three women are at different crossroads, but they will all wind up in the same shocking place.

Big Little Lies is a brilliant take on ex-husbands and second wives, mothers and daughters, schoolyard scandal, and the little lies that can turn lethal.

You wouldn’t have real feelings when you were forty, because you’d be safely cushioned by your frumpy forty-ness.

She has board meetings to attend. Whenever you talk to her she’s just been to a board meeting, or she’s on her way back from a board meeting, or she’s preparing for a board meeting. I mean, how often do these boards have to meet?”
― Liane Moriarty, Big Little Lies

“And maybe it was more than that.

Maybe it was actually an unspoken instant agreement between the four women on the balcony: No woman should pay for the accidental death of this particular man. Maybe it was an involuntary, atavistic response to thousands of years of violence against women. Maybe it was for every rape, every brutal backhanded slap, every other Perry that had come before this one.”

“It’s because we live in a beauty-obsessed society where the most important thing a woman can do is make herself attractive to men.”

“The front of the cafe was all open glass, and the seating was arranged so that wherever you sat you faced the beach, as if you were there to watch the sea perform a show. As Jane looked around her, she felt that dissatisfied feeling she often experienced when she was somewhere new and lovely. She couldn’t quite articulate it except with the words “If only I were here”. This little beachside cafe was so exquisite, she longed to really be there — except, of course, she was there, so it didn’t make any sense.”
― Liane Moriarty, Big Little Lies

“Something snapped,” said Madeline. She saw Perry’s hand shining back in its graceful, practiced arc. She heard Bonnie’s guttural voice. It occurred to her that there were so many levels of evil in the world. Small evils like her own malicious words. Like not inviting a child to a party. Bigger evils like walking out on your wife and newborn baby or sleeping with your child’s nanny. And then there was the sort of evil which Madeline had no experience: cruelty in hotel rooms and violence in suburban homes and little girls sold like merchandise, shattering innocent hearts.”
― Liane Moriarty, Big Little Lies

“Their arguments always went like this. The angrier Madeline got, the more freakishly calm Ed became, until he reached a point where he sounded like a hostage negotiator dealing with a lunatic and a ticking bomb. It was infuriating.”
― Liane Moriarty, Big Little Lies

“She had too much imagination. Too much empathy […] there was real pain in the world, right this very moment people were suffering unimaginable atrocities and you couldn’t close your heart completely, but you couldn’t leave it wide open either, because otherwise how could you possibly live your life, when through pure, random luck you got to live in paradise?”
― Liane Moriarty, Big Little Lies

“Stick with the nice boys…bad boys don’t bring you coffee in bed, I’ll tell you that for free.”
― Liane Moriarty, Big Little Lies

“Bonnie is so ‘calm,’ you see. The opposite of me. She speaks in one of those soft . . . low . . . melodious voices that make you want to punch a wall.”
― Liane Moriarty, Big Little Lies

“Why did they all have to tread so very delicately around Celeste’s money? It was like wealth was an embarrassing medical condition. It was the same with Celeste’s beauty. Strangers gave Celeste the same furtive looks they gave to people with missing limbs, and if Madeline ever mentioned Celeste’s looks, Celeste responded with something like shame. “Shhh,” she’d say, looking around fearfully in case someone overheard. Everyone wanted to be rich and beautiful, but the truly rich and beautiful had to pretend they were just the same as everyone else. Oh, it was a funny old world.”
― Liane Moriarty, Big Little Lies

“the world, right this very moment people were suffering unimaginable atrocities and you couldn’t close your heart completely, but you couldn’t leave it wide open either, because otherwise how could you possibly live your life, when through pure, random luck you got to live in paradise? You had to register the existence of evil, do the little that you could, and then close your mind and think about new shoes.”
― Liane Moriarty, Big Little Lies

“It was just so very surprising that the good-looking, worried man who had just offered her a cup of tea, and was right now working at his computer down the hallway, and who would come running if she called him, and who loved her with all of his strange heart, would in all probability one day kill her.”
― Liane Moriarty, Big Little Lies

“All conflict can be traced back to someone’s feelings getting hurt, don’t you think? Divorce. World wars. Legal action. Well, maybe not every legal action.”
― Liane Moriarty, Big Little Lies

“They say it’s good to let your grudges go, but I don’t know, I’m quite fond of my grudge. I tend it like a little pet.”
― Liane Moriarty, Big Little Lies

“You get what you get and you don’t get upset!” screamed Fred.”
― Liane Moriarty, Big Little Lies

“They both went to opposite sides of the bed, snapped on their bedside lamps and pulled back the cover in a smooth, practiced, synchronized move that proved, depending on Madeline’s mood, that they either had the perfect marriage or that they were stuck in a middle-class suburban rut and they needed to sell the house and go traveling around India.”
― Liane Moriarty, Big Little Lies

“Mothers took their mothering so seriously now. Their frantic little faces. Their busy little bottoms strutting into the school in their tight gym gear. Ponytails swinging. Eyes fixed on the mobile phones held in the palms of their hands like compasses.”
― Liane Moriarty, Big Little Lies

“But I feel ugly, because one man said it was so, and that made it so. It’s pathetic.”
― Liane Moriarty, Big Little Lies
