HTML:<b>An “eviscerating” (<i>The New York Times</i>) novel about being a wife, a mother, and an artist, and how marriage makes liars of us all—from the author of <i>Very Cold People</i> and <i>300 Arguments</i><br /> “Is divorce the new marriage plot? . . . [<i>Liars</i>] pulses with a rare kind of anger, making it a compulsive, unforgettable read. Love stories, it seems, are out. Divorce as liberation? Very much in.”—<i>Vogue</i><br /> “A tour de force . . . <i>Liars</i> makes an old story fresh.”—NPR<br /> “A bracing story of a woman on the verge.”—<i>Kirkus Reviews</i> (starred review)</b><br /> <i>A nuclear family can destroy a woman artist. I’d always known that. But I’d never suspected how easily I’d fall into one anyway.</i><br /> <br /> When Jane, an aspiring writer, meets filmmaker John Bridges, they both want the same things: to be in love, to live a successful, creative life, and to be happy. When they marry, Jane believes she has found everything she was looking for, including—a few years later—all the attendant joys and labors of motherhood. But it’s not long until Jane finds herself subsumed by John’s ambitions, whims, and ego; in short, she becomes a wife.<br /> As Jane’s career flourishes, their marriage starts to falter. Throughout the upheavals of family life, Jane tries to hold it all together. That is, until John leaves her.<br /> <i>Liars</i> is a tour de force of wit and rage, telling the blistering story of a marriage as it burns to the ground, and of a woman rising inexorably from its ashes.
