Jane never imagined how easily a marriage could swallow the person she worked so hard to become. As a young writer, she falls for filmmaker John Bridges and believes they are building a life shaped by art, ambition, and shared possibility. Motherhood brings joy, but it also shifts gravity. John’s needs expand, his ego eclipses, and Jane learns how quickly a woman can become defined by someone else’s desires.
As her own career finally takes flight, the marriage strains under its widening cracks. Holding the family together becomes an exhausting act of performance, one that shatters when John walks away.
Widely acclaimed and named a best book of the year by multiple outlets, Liars delivers a fierce, incisive portrait of a woman reclaiming herself from the ruins.
