“Smart and fun, Three Little Truths is the perfect next book for fans of Liane Moriarty. I was torn between never wanting the story to end and dying to know what would happen. With its big heart, biting humor, and unforgettable women, this is a summer must-read.”
—Bunmi Laditan, author of Confessions of a Domestic Failure and Dear Mother

“This book blew me away. I read it over two evenings and am now bereft without that colorful cast in my life. Liane Moriarty meets Maeve Binchy meets Marian Keyes. I laughed, I cried, I shuddered, I was agog. I loved Edie and Martha and Robin, but the neighborhood ladies and their Whatsapp chats had me in stitches. Shortall has captured an international story in a very recognizably domestic setting. This book is going to knock people’s socks off.” —Jo Spain, author of The Confession

“Eithne Shortall writes a community of neighbours so vividly that I feel like I’m one of them, adjusting my telescope and keeping a glass to the wall for fear that I’d miss anything. Funny, endearing, mysterious and outrageous, this book is wildly entertaining and hugely enjoyable.”
—Liz Nugent, author of Lying in Wait

“Heart-warming with a voice of its own. Now this is women power!”
—Jane Corry, author of My Husband’s Wife
