Truly Madly Guilty<\/strong> Australian Liane Moriarty’s recently released latest novel is about a barbecue and is also near the pinnacle of the New York Times Best Sellers list this week. It seemed a timely book worth investigating this week. <\/p>\n Barbecuing is a perfect summer activity. It’s fun, doesn’t heat up the house, and results in eating yummy grilled food afterwards. Unfortunately, the backyard barbecue happening here takes a turn for the worse. Seemingly happy couples and their children get together one afternoon in Sydney only to have tragedy strike. This fast-moving, intricately plotted novel follows three very different couples Erica and Oliver, Tiffany and Vid, and Sam and Clementine, interspersing the events of that day and those months later when they’re looking back at what happened, slowly revealing the details to us. The theme of guilt flows through the complexities of marriage, friendship, and sex as the novel proceeds to its end.
