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? Join us as we chat with mega-bes tselling author Liane Moriarty about her newest novel "Here One Moment\," a brilli antly constructed tale that looks at free will and destiny\, grief and lov e\, and the endless struggle to maintain certainty and control in an uncer tain world. \; \;
\nThe airline flight at the core of this n ovel will be smooth\; it will land safely. Everyone who gets on the plane will get off. But almost all of them will be forever changed. Because on t his ordinary\, short\, domestic flight\, something extraordinary 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. But for six passengers\, their predicted deaths are not far away at all.
\nHow d o they know this? Not a single passenger or crew member will later recall noticing a certain woman board the plane. Her appearance and demeanor were unremarkable. But what "The Death Lady" did on that flight was truly rema rkable. A 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 thinking this is simply an entertaining story at a cocktail party.
\nA modern-day Jane Austen who humorously skewers social mores while sp inning a web of mystery\, Moriarty asks profound questions in her newest I -can&rsquo\;t-wait-to-find-out-what-happens novel.
