If you knew your future\, would you try to fight fate? If you were told you only had a certain amount of time left t o live\, would you do things differently? Would you try to dodge your dest iny? Join us as we chat with mega-bestselling author Liane Moriarty about her newest novel \;Here One Moment. Moriarty&rsquo\;s \;Here One M oment \;is a brilliantly constructed tale that looks at free will and destiny\, grief and love\, and the endless struggle to maintain certainty and control in an uncertain world. \; \;
\nIn \;Here One Moment\, aside from a delay\, there will be no problems. The flight will be smooth\, it will land safely. Everyone who gets on the plane will get o ff. But almost all of them will be forever changed. Because on this ordina ry\, short\, domestic flight\, something extraordinary happens. People lea rn how and when they are going to die. For some\, their death is far in th e future&mdash\;age 103!&mdash\;and they laugh. But for six passengers\, t heir predicted deaths are not far away at all.
\nHow do they know th is? There were ostensibly more interesting people on the flight but none w ould become as famous as &ldquo\;The Death Lady.&rdquo\; Not a single pass enger or crew member will later recall noticing her board the plane. She w asn&rsquo\;t exceptionally old or young\, rude or polite. She wasn&rsquo\; t drunk or nervous or pregnant. Her appearance and demeanor were unremarka ble. But what she did on that flight was truly remarkable. \;
\nA few months later\, one passenger dies exactly as she predicted. Then two more passengers die\, again\, as she said they would. Soon no one is thin king this is simply an entertaining story at a cocktail party.
\nA m odern-day Jane Austen who humorously skewers social mores while spinning a web of mystery\, Moriarty asks profound questions in her newest I-can&rsq uo\;t-wait-to-find-out-what-happens novel. Be sure to register now!
