Q&A with Liane Moriarty
We had the absolute pleasure of asking Liane Moriarty a few questions about her writing inspiration, travel habits, and dream reading spots.
Silent Book Club: I've read that the idea for HERE ONE MOMENT came to you while stuck on the tarmac. Are you a nervous flyer?
Liane Moriarty: I’m lucky because I don’t have a fear of flying so for the most part it sparks a feeling of joy. On the other hand Australia is very far away from the rest of the world so plane trips can be very long and exhausting, and the older I get the longer it takes me to recover.
Silent Book Club: So let’s talk packing list. Every reader’s dilemma: how many books do you bring along when you travel? What genres do you gravitate towards?
I normally pack at least three paperbacks, and then buy more at the airport. I enjoy most contemporary fiction, across most genres – from domestic thrillers to historic fiction. Once I finish reading a book, I leave it behind for the next guest at a hotel or Airbnb, and then replenish! It’s not a failsafe system, and I do get panicky when I’m travelling and find myself coming to the final pages of my last book, so I have finally given in and bought an ebook as an emergency back-up.
Silent Book Club: What would be your dream destination for a reading retreat?
Liane Moriarty: It would probably be a snowy mountain retreat – perhaps somewhere like the Austrian retreat in season two of Nine Perfect Strangers! Although without the psychedelic therapy!
Silent Book Club: Cozy cabin reading? YES PLEASE. And it works out perfectly that our summer giveaway in the US corresponds with your winter in Australia. Win-win!
About the book
Here One Moment, by Liane Moriarty - Available in paperback July 1st!
A seemingly ordinary flight takes an extraordinary turn when a mysterious woman walks down the aisle, predicting the exact time and manner of death for each passenger. While some dismiss her as a charlatan and others are delighted by her prophecies of long lives, the passengers' worlds are irrevocably shaken months later when the first prediction chillingly comes true. From there, the novel intricately explores how this shared, unsettling experience impacts the lives, relationships, and perspectives of a diverse group of individuals, forcing them to confront their beliefs about fate, free will, and how to live when you might know your end.
