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? Liane Moriarty's newest novel\, \;Here One Moment\, \;is a brilliantly constructed tale that looks at free will and destiny\, grief and love\, and the endless struggle to maintain certainty and contro l in an uncertain world. \; \;
\nIn \;Here One Momen t\, the flight will be smooth\, it will land safely. Everyone who get s on the plane will get off. But almost all of them will be forever change d. Because on this ordinary\, short\, domestic flight\, something extraord inary happens. People learn how and when they are going to die. For some\, their death is far in the future&mdash\;age 103!&mdash\;and they laugh. B ut for six passengers\, their predicted deaths are not far away at all.
\nHow do they know this? There were ostensibly more interesting people on the flight but none would become as famous as &ldquo\;The Death Lady.& rdquo\; Not a single passenger or crew member will later recall noticing h er board the plane. She wasn&rsquo\;t exceptionally old or young\, rude or polite. She wasn&rsquo\;t drunk or nervous or pregnant. Her appearance an d demeanor were unremarkable. But what she did on that flight was truly re markable. \;
\nA few months later\, one passenger dies exactly a s she predicted. Then two more passengers die\, again\, as she said they w ould. Soon no one is thinking this is simply an entertaining story at a co cktail party.
\nA modern-day Jane Austen who humorously skewers soci al mores while spinning a web of mystery\, Moriarty asks profound question s in her newest I-can&rsquo\;t-wait-to-find-out-what-happens novel. \;
\nLiane Moriarty is the #1 \;New York Times \;best selling author of \;Truly Madly Guilty\, \;Big Little Lies\, \;The Husband&rsquo\;s Secret\, \;The Hy pnotist&rsquo\;s Love Story\, \;What Alice Forgot\, \;Apples Never Fall\, and \;Here One Moment.
