About this listen

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 . . .

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)
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)
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)
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)

Wonderful - loved it

Such a fascinating story, I found it thought-provoking and inspiring. The characters are well rounded and so personable it’s as if I have known them all my life. Liane is clearly a master of characterisation and the narrators did a fantastic job of bringing them into being. Marvellous book, I enjoyed it immensely

So good

I love all Liane Moriarty’s books. This is no exception. Great story but always something to think about and something to gladden your heart. The only bad thing about it is how long I now need to wait for the next one.

Absolutely loved it

It’s sounds corny but I’d call this life affirming. Lots of characters but easy to follow and hold on to.
Beautiful ending
Highly recommended

An excellent novel....one of the best audio books

It took me a while to get into this novel and retain all the characters in my brain. However once we know a little more about Cherry it t becomes a rivetting and tender tale.
An excellent performance by both narrators.

I didn’t want it to end!

What a captivating story, I could’ve listened to Cherry tell me about her life forever!

Compelling

I think I ought to have read this book rather than listened as there are a lot of characters and I feel I needed to read the names as occasionally I got lost and had to rewind. Probably a dyslexic thing.
Didn’t love the accent of the character Cherry. It was quite hard.
