Book Review of Big Lies in a Small Town

Big Lies in a Small Town

The historical context for Big Lies in a Small Town by Diane Chamberlain is a 1930s Works Progress Administration program to produce artwork for government buildings. Anna Dale is selected to paint a mural for Edenton, North Carolina. Decades later, Morgan Christopher is hired to restore the mural. The story is slow to build, but there is an "aha" moment when it comes together. The book keeps me reading until the very last page to see every connection. In fact, I turn the last page to see if there is more. That, for me, is the sign of a great read.
