Description
#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 YEAR
Life 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.

5By realtorsrockI began reading this book in Antarctica last January and read it in huge chunks of time. Finished mid-May. Great story. Excellent writing.Amazing
5By Cindy4213This book was absolutely amazing, one of the best I have ever read. The character development was detailed and I fell in love with the main character. Cried at the end! I will read this again….and that never happens!! Thank you Lianne!Just a good read!
4By Amigo73The perfect amount of interesting, well-developed characters, a good fast-paced plot, and I found myself caring about what happened. That combination seems rare these days.Incredibly moving
5By Chrissyb23Completely enthralling and told in such a beautiful way.My least favorite Liane Moriarty book
1By kerriokie_I have been a loyal reader of Liane Moriarty’s books since before she got big. Usually, I cannot put her books down. This one, I had to make myself finish it. It is so long and drawn out and the ending is just not satisfying.Great Read
4By arizonareadingsharkLove the path between power of suggestion and fear that is drawn throughout the book.Suspense, humor, excellent characters
5By Sual WriteLiane Moriorty is a favorite of mine. Like all the other books she masterfully crafted, this one is every bit as good as the rest. Truth be told, I’ve read them all at least twice. Time well spent. Enjoy.Amazing
5By Steve1114567Such a beautiful story and the way it all unfolded was so wonderful I couldn’t stop reading until I knew how it all endedReally Diffrent
4By JenobenoGreat story….read this bookStrong possibilities that went awry
2By Bunny+Bunny=koot.I only finished the book because my friend's first book-club choice was this one and I felt the need to support her. There was some strong character development but the way the author rambled and wove in and out made it difficult for me to care what happened, especially to the narrator/psychic fraud. This author has written some good books, but I cannot recommend this one.
