　　剛搬到鎮上的單親媽媽Jane因為太年輕，兒子如謎一般的身世啟人疑竇，她卻始終守口如瓶，究竟是為什麼？當Madeline和Celeste決定將Jane納入姊妹淘團體後，兩人的未來又會因此發生什麼劇烈變化呢？高潮迭起的《Big Little Lies》透過三個女性的角度，結合了家庭、學校醜聞以及生活中必要的小謊言，交織出人與人之間複雜又敏感的愛與信任等議題。（文／博客來編譯）

　　A murder… . . . a tragic accident… . . . or just parents behaving badly?  
　　What’s indisputable is that someone is dead.  
　　But who did what?
 
　　Big Little Lies follows three women, each at a crossroads:
 
　　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.
