Here One Moment: A Novel By Liane Moriarty

In Here One Moment, Liane Moriarty delivers a gripping narrative that explores the intersection of fate and free will. The story centers around an ordinary domestic flight that takes a turn for the extraordinary when an enigmatic woman—dubbed “The Death Lady”—boards the plane without anyone noticing. On this flight, passengers are given an unsettling glimpse into their futures: they learn exactly when and how they will die.

For some, the knowledge comes as a distant relief, but for others, the revelations are harrowing. As the plane lands and life returns to normal, the passengers and crew soon discover that the Death Lady's predictions are shockingly accurate. One by one, the predicted deaths begin to occur, transforming what initially seemed like a macabre curiosity into a profound and unsettling reality.

As each character grapples with their predicted fate, the narrative examines the struggle between trying to alter one’s destiny and accepting it. The book is a thoughtful exploration of how we confront our own impermanence and the lengths we might go to in order to reclaim control over our lives.

With her trademark wit and insight, Moriarty blends mystery, drama, and philosophical inquiry into a compelling story that questions how we navigate our lives when faced with the ultimate certainty of death. 📚❤️
