Editorial Review

Liane Moriarty always keeps me guessing
Between character, setting and plot, I’m pretty much always a character person. And while the characters in Here One Moment are each fascinating and complex in their own right, I was blown away by Liane Moriarty’s plotting. The narrative is so intricately layered, each detail so carefully placed, that it left me awestruck. Our central character, Cherry, is on a flight when she stands up and proceeds to predict the age of death and cause of death for the passengers on-board. What unfolds from there is a riveting and chaotic meditation on free will versus fate as the passengers deal with the predictions in different ways once back in their real lives. It’s a compulsive listen, performed by Moriarty’s longtime collaborator Caroline Lee as Cherry and Geraldine Hakewell as the other passengers, and one I will be recommending for the rest of the year. — Katie O., Audible Editor

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)
Whenever Liane Moriarty – the mastermind behind Apples Never Fall, Big Little Lies and Nine Perfect Strangers – has a new book out, we prepare for a two-day binge read. Here One Moment is no exception
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)
Simple and effective premise . . . short, sharp chapters ensure you devour this doorstop of a book
Prepare to be gripped by this stunning new novel from one of the best writers in the business. Absolutely brilliant
Brilliant, charming, and invigorating . . . a fresh, funny, ambitious, and nuanced take on some of our oldest existential questions.
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)
I adored Here One Moment. I genuinely could not put it down, and it's an absolute masterclass in storytelling. I treasure every word Liane writes, because she has such a rare and deep understanding of people and human behaviour. Whenever I reach the end of her books, not only have I been superbly entertained for four hundred pages, I also find I have learned so much more about myself, and to find those two qualities in one novel is very unusual. I am in awe of Liane's writing, she truly is a genius
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)

Excellent interwoven story, which restores your faith in humanity. Nice to see maths being portrayed positively as a maths teacher.

Skillfully interwoven story

Well written of course with lots of good character studies. But for me there are too many people, all too peripheral and the large cast hinders the audience from getting to know/ care about any one of them.
It’s almost a clever plot device but perhaps too complex at the cost of the narrative.

Fragmented story that eventually hangs together

Love Liane Moriarty’s books but his has got to be one of the best. Definitely enhanced by listening, the narrators are so good. I was finding all sorts of things I could do to justify putting in the air pods!! But please don’t sell the rights to Netflix for them to ruin it.

Fabulous!

Another wonderful and thought-provoking story from Liane Moriarty. If you enjoyed this, you must listen to her other books.

Loved it!

I think this is the best of her books to date. Switching between Cherry’s life story and the unfolding events in each characters life following the predictions works really well.

Wow! Gripping story with great characters.
