#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the beloved author of Big Little Lies, Apples Never Fall, and The Husband’s Secret comes a moving novel of love, marriage, family, and trying to find certainty in a fragile world.“The premise is irresistible—a woman on a flight from Hobart to Sydney begins predicting the age and manner of death of her fellow passengers. Beautifully written, this propulsive novel has a serious theme. Could be a great . . . present for that special someone.”—Stephen King“A riveting story so wild you don’t know how she’ll land it, and then she does, on a dime.”—Anne Lamott AN NPR BEST BOOK OF THE YEARLife is full of twists and turns you never see coming. But what if you did?Flight attendant Allegra Patel loves her job, but today is her twenty-eighth birthday and she’d rather not be placating a plane full of passengers unhappy about a long delay. There’s the well-dressed man in seat 4C desperate not to miss his daughter’s musical. A harried mother frantically tries to keep her toddler and baby quiet. Honeymooners still in their wedding finery dream of their new lives, while a chatty emergency room nurse dreams of retirement. Suddenly a woman traveling alone stands. She walks down the aisle making predictions about how and when passengers will die. Some dismiss her, they don’t believe in psychics. Some are delighted with her prophecies! Their lives will supposedly be long. Others are appalled. Then: a few months later, the first prediction comes true. Intricately plotted, with the wonderful wit Liane Moriarty has become famous for, Here One Moment brilliantly looks at friends, lovers, and family and how we manage to hold onto them in our harried modern lives.

"I can’t even begin to express my love for this book. I listened to the audiobook narrated by Geraldine Hakewell and Caroline Lee. You’ll most likely sob, but you will be so happy! <br/><br/>The premise is that an elderly woman predicts the age and manner of death for several people on a flight from Hobart to Sydney. The story that unfolds will keep you listening (or turning pages) until you get to the beautiful end (that is not a spoiler, by the way).<br/><br/>The characters in the book are believable and likable and you can’t help cheering them on and hoping that they escape the destiny predicted for them by “The Death Lady” on that flight. <br/><br/>This is a book that will stay with you for a long time."
"Loved the various character’s perspectives. The audiobook was outstanding: 5*"
