Big Little Lies Chapter 36

By Liane Moriarty

Chapter 36

The principal of Pirriwee Public has some difficult news: Amabella is being bullied again. And, even though she's not saying who's doing the bullying, Renata is sure that it's Ziggy.
All of Jane's good feelings have basically just gone out the window.
The principal explains that Amabella won't give details, but she's been covered in bruises and at least one bite mark.
Suddenly, Renata and her husband George rush into the principal's office. They were supposed to have a later meeting, but need to talk now.
When Renata sees Jane, she starts trembling with rage. She tells her, in no uncertain terms, to keep Ziggy away from Amabella.
