What to expect

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 . . .

Critics Review

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
Daily Mail
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
The Times, book of the month
Prepare to be gripped by this stunning new novel from one of the best writers in the business. Absolutely brilliant
Best Magazine
Brilliant, charming, and invigorating . . . a fresh, funny, ambitious, and nuanced take on some of our oldest existential questions.
Kirkus, Starred Review
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
Joanna Cannon
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
