Overview
Ahora una miniserie dramática en Peacock, con las actuaciones de Annette Bening y Sam Neill
De la autora de Big Little Lies, una novela deliciosamente oscura sobre matrimonios, hermanos, secretos y cómo la gente que más queremos es la que nos puede hacer más daño.
Los miembros de la familia Delaney se quieren con locura...es solo que a veces se asesinarían.
Para todos los que los conocen, los Delaney son una familia envidiable. Incluso después de todos estos años, los padres, Stan y Joy, siguen teniendo una química evidente y continúan arrasando en las pistas de tenis. Y ahora que han vendido su exitosa academia tienen todo el tiempo del mundo para relajarse y disfrutar de la vida. Sus cuatro hijos nunca llegaron a triunfar en el deporte, aunque han acabado teniendo éxito a su manera y la posibilidad de que empiecen a aparecer nietos en el horizonte llena a todos de felicidad.
Pero ahora Joy Delaney ha desaparecido y la policía está interrogando a Stan. Para tratarse de alguien que afirma ser inocente, parece tener mucho que ocultar. Y sus hijos han comenzado a contemplar el matrimonio de sus padres y su historia familiar con nuevos, y aterrorizados, ojos. Dos de ellos creen que Stan es inocente, los otros dos… no están tan seguros. Y cuando los dos bandos se enfrenten en el más importante partido de sus vidas, todos los secretos de los Delaney van a salir a la luz.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Now a drama miniseries on Peacock, starring Annette Bening and Sam Neill
#1 New York Times Bestseller
From Liane Moriarty, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Big Little Lies and Nine Perfect Strangers, comes Apples Never Fall, a novel that looks at marriage, siblings, and how the people we love the most can hurt us the deepest.
The Delaney family love one another dearly—it’s just that sometimes they want to murder each other . . .
If your mother was missing, would you tell the police? Even if the most obvious suspect was your father?
This is the dilemma facing the four grown Delaney siblings.
The Delaneys are fixtures in their community. The parents, Stan, and Joy, are the envy of all of their friends. They’re killers on the tennis court, and off it their chemistry is palpable. But after fifty years of marriage, they’ve finally sold their famed tennis academy and are ready to start what should be the golden years of their lives. So why are Stan and Joy so miserable?
The four Delaney children—Amy, Logan, Troy, and Brooke—were tennis stars in their own right, yet as their father will tell you, none of them had what it took to go all the way. But that’s okay, now that they’re all successful grown-ups and there is the wonderful possibility of grandchildren on the horizon.
One night, a stranger named Savannah knocks on Stan and Joy’s door, bleeding after a fight with her boyfriend. The Delaneys are more than happy to give her the small kindness she sorely needs. If only that was all she wanted.
Later, when Joy goes missing, and Savannah is nowhere to be found, the police question the one person who remains: Stan. But for someone who claims to be innocent, he, like many spouses, seems to have a lot to hide. Two of the Delaney children think their father is innocent, two are not so sure—but as the two sides square off against each other in perhaps their biggest match ever, all of the Delaneys will start to reexamine their shared family history in a very new light.
