Here One Moment

By: Liane Moriarty

Narrated by: Caroline Lee, Geraldine Hakewill

Brought to you by Penguin.

From the worldwide Number One bestselling author behind the Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning HBO series Big Little Lies and smash hit bestseller Apples Never Fall.

We’re all so busy, caught up in life's moments, big and small . . .

The flight attendant working a shift on her birthday.

The mother struggling alone with two young children.

The newlyweds excited about their tropical honeymoon .

The overworked father missing his kid’s big show.

The young man returning from his best friend’s funeral.

The ER nurse wondering what retirement will bring.

All strangers. All unsuspecting. Each with a life heading in a particular direction – or so they imagine.

Because an elderly woman is about to step into each of their paths. In just a few words, she will make a prediction, tying herself to all of them. And, in being bound to her, these disparate strangers will all face similar existential dilemmas. .

Who is this woman? Is she a genuine clairvoyant? A charlatan? The answer to prayers, or a harbinger of nightmares?

What she will prove to be is an agent of chaos, fraying relationships, putting entire futures into doubt and causing the most ordered of lives to unravel in the most unexpected of ways . . .

Critic reviews

Liane Moriarty is a genuine GENIUS. Here One Moment is off the scale brilliant. The book of her career, I wish I had written it. Warm, witty, wise and wry (Marian Keyes)

A compulsive plotline, intriguing characters, great writing, surprises, humour and tragedy. It'll stay with me (John Boyne)

Liane Moriarty is a master story teller. I read it in one sitting, desperate to know what happened to these characters I’d so quickly come to care about. Brilliant and satisfying (Bella Mackie, Sunday Times bestselling author of How To Kill Your Family)

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. Here One Moment delves into the notion of fate and its freedoms and constraints, mortality, fear, friendship and love. I adored it (Chris Whitaker, New York Times bestselling author of We Begin at the End)

Thought provoking, heartfelt, amusing and MORE!

I loved this book from start to finish. I just couldn't get enough. An amazing blend of human tragedy, strength of spirit and the constant need for answers, where sometimes there aren't any.
Brilliant narration and superb intertwined stories of regular people, just going about their lives. A must read!

Beautifully told

Another wonderful book by this author. Well developed characters. Narration by both narrators was excellent. I would strongly recommend this book.

Absolutely brilliant.

Without a doubt, the best book I have had the joy of reading AND listening to. The only thing I didn't like is that it had to end. Brilliant story, unexpected twists,wonderful narration, absolute perfection.

An unusual story

An excellent book with an unusual plot. Very thought provoking. The narrators were both very good too.

Fantastic book.

The story was unpredictable. Great lessons. I loved the characters. The narrator was wonderful. Highly recommended.

Great insights into life and facing death

Beautifully narrated - never certain how this will end - the author gets into the heads of the different characters. Her descriptions of what happens on a plane are so spot on!

Keeps me thinking! What if?!

Really enjoyed this book. Narrators were excellent. I’m still thinking about the what if! What if you knew when and how you would die- good or bad. Brilliantly covered!

Kept me captivated until the end

Brilliant narration, every chapter brings you more information about a different character. I couldn’t stop listening.
