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 . . .

Praise for Liane Moriarty:

'One of the few writers I'll drop anything for' Jojo Moyes

'An engrossing mashup of family drama and psychological suspense that offers a mystery....

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 * Joanna Cannon *
