Liane Moriarty with Toni Jordan

  • Talk
  • Entertainment

Hear world-famous author Liane Moriarty in conversation about her highly anticipated new novel, Big Little Truths, with beloved Melbourne author Toni Jordan. Big Little Truths is the highly anticipated follow up to Big Little Lies.

It's been 10 years since Perry Wright fell from a balcony at the Pirriwee High trivia night, but best friends Madeline, Celeste and Jane are still shadowed by his death. When an anonymous package containing a severed finger arrives at the school, and a man in a green Volvo is seen lurking around the kids, everyone is uneasy.

Is the finger pointing to a mystery, or even murder? A lie masquerading as the truth? Or a secret about to blow up their lives? What is clear is that the truth will always hurt someone.

Presented by Readings, The Wheeler Centre and UMAC.
