Nine Perfect Strangers

The novel on which the hit series Nine Perfect Strangers, starring Nicole Kidman, is based.

A smart, funny, addictive, and suspenseful story by the author of Big Little Lies.

Nine perfect strangers.
A luxury retreat isolated from the world.
Ten days that promise to change your life.
But some promises, like some lives, are perfect lies.

Romance novelist Frances Welty arrives at the luxurious Tranquillum House spa with a back problem and a broken heart, and quickly becomes intrigued by the other guests. Some want to lose weight, others are looking for a new beginning, and there are those who are there for reasons they don't even want to admit to themselves.
But what intrigues her most is the mysterious and charismatic director, a woman who seems to have answers to questions Frances didn't even know she had. Should she forget her doubts and enjoy the place, or should she flee while she still can? Soon all the guests at Tranquillum House will ask themselves the exact same question.

Critics have said...
«Liane Moriarty, the author of Big Little Lies, returns with a story that brings together the best of her peculiar style.»
Todo Literatura

«Former footballers, successful former businesswomen, a spa addict (and wine addict), faded marriages, and lottery winners complete the cast of Nine Perfect Strangers.»
Marie Claire

«It promises the same kind of literary addiction we've found in Liane Moriarty's other titles. Start with this one, start with the previous ones, but do it.»
MEW Magazine

«Moriarty is back because, undoubtedly, we missed her. And she does so with her characteristic style: sharp prose, intelligent arguments, ironic touches, and a mystery that follows us throughout the work.»
