    "description": "She was the perfect wife, with the perfect life. You would kill to have it. \n\nCiara Dunphy has it all\u0097a loving husband, well-behaved children, and a beautiful home. Her circle of friends in their small Irish village go to her for tips about mothering, style, and influencer success\u0097a picture-perfect life is easy money on Instagram. But behind the filters, reality is less polished. \n\nEnter Mishti Guha: Ciara\u0092s best friend. Ciara welcomed Mishti into her inner circle for being . . . unlike the other mothers in the group. Discontent in a marriage arranged for her by her parents back in Calcutta, Mishti now raises her young daughter in a country that is too cold, among children who look nothing like her. She wants what Ciara has\u0097the ease with which she moves through the world\u0097and, in that sense, Mishti might be exactly like the other mothers. \n\nAnd there\u0092s earth mother Lauren Doyle: born, bred, and the butt of jokes in their village. With her disheveled partner and children who run naked in the yard, they\u0092re mostly a happy lot, though ostracized for being the singular dysfunction in Ciara\u0092s immaculate world. When Lauren finds an unlikely ally in Mishti, she decides that her days of ridicule are over. \n\nThen Ciara is found murdered in her own pristine home, and the house of cards she\u0092d worked so hard to build comes crumbling down. Everyone seems to have something to gain from Ciara\u0092s death, so if they don\u0092t want the blame, it may be the perfect time to air their enemies\u0092 dirty laundry. \n\nIn this dazzling debut novel, Disha Bose revolutionizes age-old ideas of love and deceit. What ensues is the delicious unspooling of a group of women desperate to preserve themselves.",
