Nine Perfect Strangers

Today on Tea with Jules, I'm sitting down with one of Australia's most loved and successful authors, Liane Moriarty.

She's the brilliant mind behind Big Little Lies, Nine Perfect Strangers, and The Husband's Secret, and so many other stories that have captivated millions of readers around the world.

Her writing is funny, clever, sometimes dark, and always incredibly observant about the way we live, love, and relate to one another.

And now she's returning to the world of Big Little Lies with her new novel, Big Little Truths.

Hey, guys, Leanne Moriarty is about to join us.

She's the lady behind such books as Nine Perfect Strangers.

Big Little Lies, What Alice Forgot.

She's got a brand new one out.

I'm not into forgiveness either.

She's the brilliant mind behind Big Little Lies, Nine Perfect Strangers, The Last Anniversary and many more.

Please welcome to the show, Leigh-Anne Moriarty! Woo!

The ultimate reset, isolation and transformation.

We are talking about Nine Perfect Strangers by Leanne Moriarty, published by Flatiron Books.

The premise here is a locked room psychological drama, but set in an absolute paradise.

Nine completely different people gather at a highly remote, incredibly exclusive health resort.

Every single one of them is desperately seeking a reboot on life.

Yes, they are all trying to outrun their baggage.

And what Nine Perfect Strangers does is take that universal desire to escape, trap its characters in a remote location, strip away their digital distractions, and literally force them to do the real work with absolutely nowhere to run.

It forces the ultimate confrontation with the self.

Let's talk Nicole Kidman.

After the success of Big Little Lies, her first TV series as a movie star, she leaned into it with shows like Nine Perfect Strangers and Lioness.

Now, Kidman will be starring in a new series called Discretion.

and eight-episode legal thriller about a prestigious Dallas law firm also starring Elle Fanning.
