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. Other books by Lianne Moriarty include:
