THE HUSBAND'S SECRET by Liane Moriarty

This is an excellent book, literally unputdownable, if there is such a word. Liane Moriarty did a fantastic job not just with the subject matter but with the plot of this book and the depth of the characters. Whereas Big Little Lies allowed the reader to see the characters through imagery, The Husband's Secret delved more into their hearts and the emotions relative to their lives' tragedies, current events and future hopes. I loved the way the character were cleverly intertwined and the stark awareness of how our lives have a bearing on others forming an almost invisible connectivity. It also highlights important choices we have to make in consideration of other's lives like our children. For this reason I loved the character of Tess and the forgiveness and sacrifice she made to preserve her family. This book presents important truths like the damage we suffer when we are do not accept accountability for our actions as is witnessed in John-Paul Fitzpatrick's character. His lack of accountability gave birth to karma culminating in tragedy suffered by his daughter Polly.The most startling realisation the book brings to light is that we will never know some facts and secrets which impact our lives and send us in different directions, some of which we are meant to take and others maybe not.
