Here One Moment By Liane Moriarty

On an ordinary flight from Hobart to Sydney, something extraordinary happens that will change the lives of everyone on board. The flight itself is uneventful—smooth, safe, and without incident. But as the passengers settle in for the journey, an unremarkable woman suddenly becomes the center of attention when she makes a chilling revelation: she can predict how and when each of the passengers will die.

At first, the passengers are skeptical. But as she begins to speak, her predictions start to feel unsettlingly accurate. Some hear of distant futures, filled with years they can still live out; others are told that their time is almost up. The knowledge of their fates forces each person to confront deep, existential questions. What does it mean to know when you will die? How will this knowledge shape the way you live?

As the plane makes its safe landing, the passengers disembark—but none of them will ever be the same. Some are left grappling with the fear of imminent death, while others must face the daunting prospect of living with a ticking clock over their heads. Their lives become a complex dance of free will and destiny, where every decision takes on new weight and meaning.

In this brilliantly crafted novel, Liane Moriarty masterfully explores the tension between certainty and uncertainty, and the human desire for control in a world where control is often an illusion. With her signature wit and insight, Moriarty delves into the complexities of grief, love, and the choices we make when faced with the ultimate unknown.
