Here One Moment

De: Liane Moriarty

Narrado por: Caroline Lee, Geraldine Hakewill

#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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“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

Read this book!

This is a provocative story about life, death, and grief. Simply beautiful. I loved it.

Sad It’s Over

As with all of her books the characters are well developed. I enjoyed every minute. I laughed and cried. The narration was excellent.

Exceptional narration

This was well worth a point. Great characters and a unique story. Touching. The way Cherry talks about her life, loves and loss is very real.

Has to be the authors best book ever

The amazing narration helps tell a great story that captivates from the first paragraph ! I think this is probably the authors best book yet and I loved the majority ! This one shows her deepening maturity as a writer and probably her life experiences as she delves into the age old debate of fate vs self determination and how do we live like every day is our last ? I loved it

Unique and Fascinating 5 Stars

Liane Moriarty is a master story teller. Such a unique and also thought- provoking story. The characters were wonderfully developed and I couldn’t wait to go back to this fascinating story. The narration is off the charts.
