'Liane Moriarty is a genuine GENIUS. Here One Moment is off the scale brilliant' Marian Keyes
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 . . .
Everything was a puzzle, everything a trap set to mystify and hinder me.
1899.
As the new century approaches, English hack-writer Evelyn Dolman marries Laura Rensselaer, the daughter of a wealthy American plutocrat, and looks forward to the financial freedom this will afford him.
But in the midst of a mysterious rift between Laura and her father, just before the patriarch's death, Evelyn's plans of a substantial inheritance are thrown into doubt. As the unhappy newlyweds travel to Venice for New Year at Palazzo Dioscuri - the ancestral home of the charming but treacherous Count Barbarigo - a series of seemingly otherworldly occurrences exacerbate Evelyn's already frayed nerves: is it just the sea mist blanketing the floating city or is he losing his mind?
