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 Moment \;is a bri
lliantly constructed tale that looks at free will and destiny\, grief and
love\, and the endless struggle to maintain certainty and control in an un
certain world.
In \;Here One Moment\, aside from a
delay\, there will be no problems. The flight will be smooth\, it will la
nd safely. Everyone who gets on the plane will get off. But almost all of
them will be forever changed. Because on this ordinary\, short\, domestic
flight\, something extraordinary happens. People learn how and when they a
re going to die. For some\, their death is far in the future&mdash\;age 10
3!&mdash\;and they laugh. But for six passengers\, their predicted deaths
are not far away at all.
How do they know this? There were oste
nsibly more interesting people on the flight but none would become as famo
us as &ldquo\;The Death Lady.&rdquo\; Not a single passenger or crew membe
r will later recall noticing her board the plane. She wasn&rsquo\;t except
ionally old or young\, rude or polite. She wasn&rsquo\;t drunk or nervous
or pregnant. Her appearance and demeanor were unremarkable. But what she d
id on that flight was truly remarkable.
A few months later\, on
e passenger dies exactly as she predicted. Then two more passengers die\,
again\, as she said they would. Soon no one is thinking this is simply an
entertaining story at a cocktail party.
A modern-day Jane Auste
n who humorously skewers social mores while spinning a web of mystery\, Moriarty asks profound questions in her
newest I-can&rsquo\;t-wait-to-find-out-what-happens novel. Be sure to regi
