Publisher Description
If you knew when you were going to die, what would you do differently?
It all begins on a flight from Hobart to Sydney. The flight will be smooth. It will land safely. Everyone who gets on the plane will get off the plane.
But almost all of them will be changed forever.
Because on this ordinary flight, something extraordinary happens. 'A lady', unremarkable until she isn't, predicts how and when many of the passengers are going to die. For some, death is far in the future; for others, it is very close.
A brilliantly constructed story that looks at free will and destiny, grief and love, and the endless struggle to maintain certainty and control in an uncertain world. Liane Moriarty is a modern-day Jane Austen who humorously skewers social mores while spinning a web of mystery and asking profound, universal questions.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
The setup for Liane Moriarty’s 10th novel, Here One Moment, is deceptively simple: a mysterious woman walks down the aisle of a flight from Hobart to Sydney, confidently informing each passenger of the time and place of their future death. One passenger posits she’s a “clairvoyant gone rogue”. What follows is wonderfully classic Moriarty—an expertly woven narrative that shifts between the perspectives of a handful of passengers, each confronting their existential dilemmas in the aftermath of this unsettling experience. The novel is both introspective and thrilling, delivering jaw-dropping moments as it spirals into more profound meditations on destiny, grief and the struggle for control in an unpredictable world. As always, Moriarty’s characters are vividly drawn and richly developed, with their vulnerabilities and fears revealed with nuance, making Here One Moment a tapestry of human emotion.
