BOOK. Liane Moriarty: Apples NEVER Fall

Liane Moriarty is known for her masterful storytelling and complex characters, and her latest novel, The Apple Doesn't Fall, is no exception. This gripping mystery-drama follows the Delaney family, retired tennis school owners whose lives are turned upside down when Joy mysteriously disappears.

The Delaney siblings, Amy, Logan, Troy, and Brooke, are drawn back into their family's orbit as they try to find their mother and uncover the truth about her disappearance. Along the way, they must confront their own secrets and long-buried resentments.

Moriarty does a masterful job of unraveling the Delaneys' past, layer by layer. She explores the impact of their tennis obsession, the fraught transition to retirement, and the changing nature of parental relationships with grown children.
The novel is also a meditation on the nature of truth and memory. Moriarty shows how our perceptions of the past can be shaped by our own biases and experiences. She also explores the idea of inherited trauma and how it can shape our present and future.
The Apple Doesn't Fall is a well-written and thought-provoking novel that will stay with you long after you finish reading it. It is a must-read for fans of Moriarty's work, as well as anyone who enjoys a good mystery.
