Here One Moment
by Liane Moriarty
Short summary: a great read, well-written as alwasy by Liane Moriarty, with well estabilshed characters and equal parts reality-based and outlandished plot, that leaves you feeling like you'vd just read the next Netflix adaptation of the summer.
Themes: Spirituality, grief, loss, self-determination, memory, love, friendship (and a touch of maths).
I was lucky enough to hear Liane speak on the day this was released, and she said sometimes she wished readers knew very little about her books before reading them, and even wished they didn't read the blurb, so in that case other than the above brief summary and below highlight quotes, just know if you liked her past work you'd like this one.
The book explores the singular starting scenario (a plane right from Hobart to Sydney) from many viewpoints, with each narrator at times contraict themselves or others. "the colours of my childhood are so rich and vibrant, but then again, yours probably are too."
Anotehr central theme is grief, and the descriptions are visercle and show the many ways to grief, and how it can be compounded throughout a life time. "There were some days when the pain was so physical, I felt like I was being squeezed to death in some kind of medieval torture device."
The main premis is can be choose our own fate and what countrol we have on this journey of life.
"...it feels like we're all waiting to see where the axe falls next."
"you can't choose your future. not in a world of risk and uncertainty...No one can tell you what lies ahead with one hundred per cent accuracy."
"Fate won't be fought"
I know I've enjoyed abook when I am already planning when I can read it again - and hopefully soon!.
