Description:

Australian author Liane Moriarty has a way of taking ordinary women’s lives and making them extraordinary. She’s the queen of dark and unsettling themes, juxtaposing tales of female rage against the illusion of domestic bliss like the global eight-time bestselling literary sensation she is.

But there’s nothing unsettling about this New York Times bestselling writer. In fact, Liane Moriarty’s modesty and delightful giggle are a breath of fresh air for a woman whose stratospheric success has Hollywood heavyweights Nicole Kidman, Reece Witherspoon and Melissa McCarthy calling her a friend and colleague.

In our chat, Liane talks about becoming a mother in her forties, her internalised misogyny around the women’s fiction category, her recent breast cancer treatment, and why writing the back of the Sultana Bran box brought her immense career satisfaction.

So, what happens when you own your tall poppy status?

We find out in FORTY.
