This book will forevor be associated with the excellent Netflix series made after it, and that can only be a good thing. The original book, set in Australia, takes you inside the lives of three woman dealing with young children and the emotional guagmire that comes hand in hand with them, plus domestic violence, infidelity, the aftermath of rape and, in the end, the death of a partner. Moriarty is the master of showing the reader a portrait of their own lives, only with more action and better looking characters. She goes deep without ever being manipulative. I love her.
