Here One Moment

The plane is jam-packed. Every seat is taken. So of course the flight is delayed. There's the well-dressed man in seat 4C who is compulsively checking his watch. A mother who is frantically trying to keep her toddler entertained and her infant son quiet. A young couple that has just gotten married. It's the birthday of one of the flight attendants who can think of plenty of things she'd rather be doing than placating a bunch of grumpy passengers.
And an emergency room nurse who is looking forward to traveling the world once she retires in a few years. If they ever get off the tarmac ... Suddenly a woman none of them know stands up. She makes predictions about how and when everyone on board will die. Some dismiss her. Others will do everything they can to make sure her prophecies do not come to pass. How would you live your life if you thought you knew how and when it would end ? 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 on to them in our harried modern lives.
