Here One Moment by Liane Moriarty (2024, Hardcover)

Description: "Aside 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 almost all of them will be forever changed. Because on this 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--age 103!--and they laugh. But for six passengers, their predicted deaths are not far away at all. ... If you were told you only had a certain amount of time left to live, would you do things differently? Would you try to dodge your destiny?"-- "Unputdownable . . . [a] propulsive, philosophically rich saga." --Oprah Daily"In Here One Moment, Australian author Liane Moriarty takes readers on a wild ride as passengers deal with love, heartbreak, and careers, all while contemplating whether fate and destiny are real--and whether the outcome can be changed. It's a captivating book that keeps you reading till the end to find out what happens to the passengers and just who Cherry really is." --Jeanine Herbst, news anchor, NPR"Terrifically crafted . . .

Further back, a mother of two is frantically trying to keep her toddler entertained and her infant son quiet. How did she ever think being a stay-at-home mom would be easier than being a lawyer?

Would you quit your job?Intricately plotted, with the wonderful wit Liane Moriarty has become famous for, Here One Moment brilliantly looks at friends, lovers, and family and how we manage to hold onto them in our harried modern lives.Review Citations:Publishers Weekly 07/15/2024 (EAN 9780593798607, Hardcover) - *Starred ReviewKirkus Reviews 07/15/2024 (EAN 9780593798607, Hardcover) - *Starred ReviewShelf Awareness 09/19/2024 (EAN 9780593798607, Hardcover)Booklist 08/01/2024 pg. 24 (EAN 9780593798621, Other)
