Liane Moriarty&rsquo\;s "Here One Moment" is a brilliantly constructed tale that looks at free will and destiny\, gr ief and love\, and the endless struggle to maintain certainty and control in an uncertain world. \; \;
\nIn \;Here One Moment\, as ide 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 off. But almo st all of them will be forever changed. Because on this ordinary\, short\, domestic flight\, something extraordinary happens. People learn how and w hen they are going to die. For some\, their death is far in the future&mda sh\;age 103!&mdash\;and they laugh. But for six passengers\, their predict ed deaths are not far away at all.
\nHow do they know this? There we re ostensibly more interesting people on the flight but none would become as famous as &ldquo\;The Death Lady.&rdquo\; Not a single passenger or cre w member will later recall noticing her board the plane. She wasn&rsquo\;t exceptionally old or young\, rude or polite. She wasn&rsquo\;t drunk or n ervous or pregnant. Her appearance and demeanor were unremarkable. But wha t she did on that flight was truly remarkable. \;
\nA few months later\, one passenger dies exactly as she predicted. Then two more passen gers die\, again\, as she said they would. Soon no one is thinking this is simply an entertaining story at a cocktail party.
\nA modern-day Ja ne Austen who humorously skewers social mores while spinning a web of myst ery\, Moriarty asks profound questions in her newest I-can&rsquo\;t-wait-t o-find-out-what-happens novel. Be sure to register now!
