Here One Moment by Liane Moriarty -- BOOK BEGINNINGS

 

BOOK BEGINNINGS ON FRIDAYS

Here One Moment by Liane Moriarty

Well, if you came by last week or the week before for Book Beginnings, MY APOLOGIES! Apparently retirement and hosting duties don't mix, because I keep forgetting to post. I've now added a weekly reminder to my calendar so I hope I will be more responsible.  

If you are still hanging around, thank you for joining me this week for Book Beginnings on Fridays where participants share the opening sentence (or two) from the book they are reading. You can also share from a book you want to feature, even if you are not reading it at the moment. 

MY BOOK BEGINNING

Later, not a single person will recall seeing the lady board the flight at Hobart Airport. 

-- from Here One Moment by Liane Moriarty, her most recent novel. I love Moriarty's books and have read most of them. This one is not as suspenseful as Big Little Lies or some of the other ones, but it is good entertainment, like all of them. 

Are you a Liane Moriarty fan? What's your favorite?

MY FRIDAY 56

-- from Here One Moment:

Paula stares for a dull stupefied moment at the document the Scottish man is trying to hand her. She squints to read it, as if it’s a contract or a file she needs to act on, but she really doesn’t have the bandwidth for this right now.

FROM THE PUBLISHER'S DESCRIPTION

Suddenly a woman traveling alone stands. She walks down the aisle making predictions about how and when passengers will die. Some dismiss her, they don’t believe in psychics. Some are delighted with her prophecies! Their lives will supposedly be long. Others are appalled.

Then: a few months later, the first prediction comes true.

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 onto them in our harried modern lives.
