Episode Description

I don’t know what Jaclyn Moriarty’s parents did so right to raise a slew of brilliant women writers, but Jaclyn has a few ideas. Hear from her about the games her family played including sister Liane Moriarty, Big Little Lies, how she got the idea for the book on a bus ride, the lives not lived, and fate itself. The books is so fun; Jaclyn’s prose is so witty I continually chuckled as I read it. Her observational prowess knows no bounds.
