Here One Moment

If you knew when you were going to die, what would you do differently?

In Here One Moment by Liane Moriarty, an ordinary flight from Hobart to Sydney takes an unprecedented turn. At first, the journey appears mundane: the flight is smooth, and it lands safely. Everyone who boards the plane disembarks as planned, but almost all passengers will find their lives irrevocably changed.

During this routine flight, an unremarkable woman, who would normally blend in with the crowd, astonishingly reveals the exact death dates of numerous passengers. Her unsettling predictions vary, with some deaths forecasted in the distant future and others much closer to the present. This extraordinary event sets off a chain reaction, forcing each passenger to confront their own mortality and make profound choices about their lives.

With her characteristic brilliance, Moriarty weaves a compelling narrative that explores the intersections of free will, destiny, grief, and love. The story delves into the human condition, questioning the lengths we go to maintain control and certainty in an unpredictable world. Moriarty’s sharp social commentary and deep emotional insights make her a modern-day Jane Austen, using her wit to dissect societal norms while crafting a gripping, mysterious tale.

Here One Moment not only challenges readers to think about fate and autonomy but also invites them into the lives of vividly drawn characters, each battling their own inner turmoil and existential questions. Moriarty's masterful storytelling ensures that every twist and turn keeps readers on the edge of their seats, wondering about the true impact of knowing one's end.
