About this listen

 #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the beloved author of Big Little Lies, Apples Never Fall, and The Husband’s Secret comes a moving novel of love, marriage, family, and trying to find certainty in a fragile world.

“The premise is irresistible—a woman on a flight from Hobart to Sydney begins predicting the age and manner of death of her fellow passengers. Beautifully written, this propulsive novel has a serious theme. Could be a great . . . present for that special someone.”—Stephen King

“A riveting story so wild you don’t know how she’ll land it, and then she does, on a dime.”—Anne Lamott

AN NPR BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR

Life is full of twists and turns you never see coming. But what if you did?

Flight attendant Allegra Patel loves her job, but today is her twenty-eighth birthday and she’d rather not be placating a plane full of passengers unhappy about a long delay. There’s the well-dressed man in seat 4C desperate not to miss his daughter’s musical. A harried mother frantically tries to keep her toddler and baby quiet. Honeymooners still in their wedding finery dream of their new lives, while a chatty emergency room nurse dreams of retirement.

Suddenly a woman traveling alone stands. She walks down the aisle making predictions about how and when passengers will die. Some dismiss her, they don’t believe in psychics. Some are delighted with her prophecies! Their lives will supposedly be long. Others are appalled.

Then: a few months later, the first prediction comes true.

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.

What the critics say

“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 . . . By turns bighearted and sardonic, Here One Moment ponders such imponderables as free will, providence, love, death.”—The Wall Street Journal

“Everything we loved about Moriarty’s Big Little Lies—the pacing, the twists, the taut energy—is here, in a high-flying exploration of free will and destiny.”—Good Housekeeping, Book of the Month Book Club Pick

“A riveting story so wild you don’t know how she’ll land it, and then she does, on a dime.”—Anne Lamott, #1 New York Times bestselling author

“Funny, frightening, heartbreaking, and life-affirming. I adored Here One Moment.”—Chris Whitaker, New York Times bestselling author of All the Colors of the Dark

“Liane Moriarty is a genuine GENIUS. Here One Moment is off-the-scale brilliant.” —Marian Keyes, international bestselling author of Watermelon and Again, Rachel

“The story is a brilliant, charming, and invigorating illustration of its closing quote from Elisabeth Kübler-Ross (we’re not going to spill that). A fresh, funny, ambitious, and nuanced take on some of our oldest existential questions.”―Kirkus Reviews, starred review

“Meticulously plotted . . . exquisitely rendered characters . . . Moriarty has outdone herself.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review

Editorial Review

Liane Moriarty always keeps me guessing
Between character, setting, and plot, I’m pretty much always a character person. And while the characters in Here One Moment are each fascinating and complex in their own right, I was blown away by Liane Moriarty’s plotting. The narrative is so intricately layered, each detail so carefully placed, that it left me awestruck. Our central character, Cherry, is on a flight when she stands up and proceeds to predict the age of death and cause of death for the passengers onboard. What unfolds from there is a riveting and chaotic meditation on free will versus fate as the passengers deal with the predictions in different ways once back in their real lives. It’s a compulsive listen, performed by Moriarty’s longtime collaborator Caroline Lee as Cherry and Geraldine Hakewell as the other passengers, and one I will be recommending for the rest of the year.— Katie O., Audible Editor

The story was very captivating, and the storyteller was nice to listen to. Even though this was fiction, it brought about some good conversation in our family! I enjoyed this very much.

I loved how there were so many characters with such different stories! There weee some subtle one liners that I didn’t see coming, and I found myself laughing out loud. It’s a great story and a reminder that we only have one life to live.

Sounded like an exciting read, when in fact it was pretty boring. Cool idea, but poorly executed. Just so boring.

Big hype, big letdown

I liked the presentation of lifes lessons and truths. Sometimes it was hard to go through. But always something worth while ahead if you put yourself out there.

SO many characters it was hard to get into and follow, but worth the effort.
