#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - From the beloved author of Big Little Lies, Apples Never Fall, and The Husband's Secret comes a moving novel of love, marriage, family, and trying to find certainty in a fragile world. "The premise is irresistible--a woman on a flight from Hobart to Sydney begins predicting the age and manner of death of her fellow passengers. Beautifully written, this propulsive novel has a serious theme. Could be a great . . . present for that special someone."--Stephen King "A riveting story so wild you don't know how she'll land it, and then she does, on a dime."--Anne Lamott AN NPR BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR Life is full of twists and turns you never see coming. But what if you did? Flight attendant Allegra Patel loves her job, but today is her twenty-eighth birthday and she'd rather not be placating a plane full of passengers unhappy about a long delay. There's the well-dressed man in seat 4C desperate not to miss his daughter's musical. A harried mother frantically tries to keep her toddler and baby quiet. Honeymooners still in their wedding finery dream of their new lives, while a chatty emergency room nurse dreams of retirement. 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.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONNow a drama miniseries on Peacock, starring Annette Bening and Sam Neill #1 New York Times Bestseller From Liane Moriarty, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Big Little Lies and Nine Perfect Strangers, comes Apples Never Fall, a novel that looks at marriage, siblings, and how the people we love the most can hurt us the deepest. The Delaney family love one another dearly--it's just that sometimes they want to murder each other . . . If your mother was missing, would you tell the police? Even if the most obvious suspect was your father? This is the dilemma facing the four grown Delaney siblings. The Delaneys are fixtures in their community. The parents, Stan, and Joy, are the envy of all of their friends. They're killers on the tennis court, and off it their chemistry is palpable. But after fifty years of marriage, they've finally sold their famed tennis academy and are ready to start what should be the golden years of their lives. So why are Stan and Joy so miserable? The four Delaney children--Amy, Logan, Troy, and Brooke--were tennis stars in their own right, yet as their father will tell you, none of them had what it took to go all the way. But that's okay, now that they're all successful grown-ups and there is the wonderful possibility of grandchildren on the horizon. One night, a stranger named Savannah knocks on Stan and Joy's door, bleeding after a fight with her boyfriend. The Delaneys are more than happy to give her the small kindness she sorely needs. If only that was all she wanted. Later, when Joy goes missing, and Savannah is nowhere to be found, the police question the one person who remains: Stan. But for someone who claims to be innocent, he, like many spouses, seems to have a lot to hide. Two of the Delaney children think their father is innocent, two are not so sure--but as the two sides square off against each other in perhaps their biggest match ever, all of the Delaneys will start to reexamine their shared family history in a very new light.

Liane Moriartyn esikoisromaani nyt suomennettuna! Viisas ja hauska romaani elämästä, sisaruudesta ja ystävyydestä. Kolmoset Lyn, Cat ja Gemma tulevat aina olemaan kolmen kimppa – hyvässä ja pahassa. Kettlen sisarukset herättävät huomiota, minne ikinä menevätkin, eikä heidän elämästään puutu draamaa. Kolmosten 34-vuotissyntymäpäivien lähestyessä Lynillä on kaikki pallot hallussa, ainakin näennäisesti. Cat pohtii avioliittonsa tulevaisuutta saatuaan yllättäviä uutisia, ja Gemman ongelmana on se, että hän ei ole koskaan pysynyt suhteessa kuutta kuukautta kauempaa. Yhdessä sisarukset luovivat eteenpäin elämässä eteenpäin eronneiden vanhempien, epäluotettavien aviomiesten ja uuvuttavan vanhemmuuden keskellä. Australialainen Liane Moriarty (s. 1966) on kirjoittanut lukuisia kansainvälisiä menestysteoksia, joista mm. Mustat valkeat valheet ja Yhdeksän hyvää, kymmenen kaunista on nähty myös menestyksekkäinä tv-sarjoina. Ennen kirjailijanuraansa Liane Moriarty toimi mainos- ja markkinointibisneksissä sekä copywriterina. Moriarty asuu Sydneyssä perheineen.

Hypnoottisen hyvä kolmiodraama pakkomielteisestä rakkaudesta.” Lämpimän humoristinen, hellästi pureva, ennen kaikkea lohdullinen tarina turhautumisesta ja vapautumisesta...”- USA TodayTavattuaan viimein kunnon miehen Ellen ei ole uskoa onneaan: Patrick on puoleensavetävä, sinkku, työssäkäyvä ja mikä parasta, rakkaus on molemminpuolista. Hypnoterapeuttina työskentelevää Elleniä ei juuri hetkauta se, että miehen eksä, Saskia, ei hellitä vaan stalkkaa menetettyä rakkauttaan jatkuvasti. Sen sijaan Ellen kiinnostuu naisen motiiveista ja tahtoisi tavata tämän. Tietämättä että on jo tavannut... Vapauttava romaani jokaiselle, joka on rakastanut, menettänyt, verrannut itseään rakastettunsa eksään tai nyksään - ja taistellut voidakseen päästää irti. Australialainen Liane Moriarty (s. 1966) on kansainvälisesti huippusuosittu kirjailija, jonka kahdeksaa menestyskirjaa on myyty jo yli 14 miljoonaa kappaletta. Moriarty on mustan huumorin ja terävän itseironian taituri, joka ei pelkää käsitellä vakavia aiheita kepeällä otteella: kirjoja lukiessa virtaavat sekä nauru että kyyneleet. Mustat valkeat valheet -romaanin ovelaa huumoria ja partaveitsenteräviä oivalluksia nähtiin myös HBO:n menestyssarjassa Big Little Lies. Yhdeksän hyvää, kymmenen kaunista on älykästä viihdettä parhaimmillaan, ja sen filmioikeudet on niin ikään myyty. Sulje silmäsi ja laske kymmeneen oli ilmestymisjärjestyksessä Moriartyn kolmas romaani, alkuteos The Hypnotist's Love Story ilmestyi vuonna 2011. Liane asuu Sydneyssä miehensä ja kahden lapsensa kanssa.” Terävä ja hauska romanttinen tarina.”- The Oprah Magazine

Joy Delaney og hendes mand Stan lever på livets solside. Omgangskredsen misunder deres fire perfekte børn, velsmurte familieimperium og evner på tennisbanen, og efter halvtreds års ægteskab og salget af deres tennisakademi kan de se frem til en gylden pension. Men lykken vender, da Joy forsvinder ud af det blå og rygterne begynder at svirre. For hvordan fik Stan et sår i hovedet? Og hvem var Savannah, den mystiske fremmede, der bankede på deres hoveddør en sen nattetime, kort før Joy forsvandt? De fire Delaney-børn – Amy, Logan, Troy og Brooke – var tennisstjerner i deres egen ret, men som deres far har gjort klart for dem, havde ingen af dem det, der skulle til. Nu står børnene over for et tragisk dilemma, som truer med at ødelægge hele deres familie: Skal de anmelde deres mors mystiske forsvinden til myndighederne, selvom den hovedmistænkte er deres egen far? Søskendeflokken forstår pludselig, hvordan vores nærmeste er dem, der har størst magt til at ødelægge os. Æblet falder ikke er en fængslende thriller med psykologisk dybde. Det er fortællingen om en familie i opbrud, skumle hemmeligheder og en frygtelig sandhed, som vil frem i lyset.

Ved første blikk fremstår den prydlige villaforstaden som en snobbete og søvnig idyll. Men under overflaten koker det... Madeline og Celeste er naboer og bestevenner. Madeline er en dame som aldri går stille i dørene, som husker alt og aldri tilgir. Celeste er så pen at folk stopper opp og stirrer når hun nærmer seg, men virker merkelig nervøs og usikker. Er det noe de skjuler? Når den unge alenemammaen Jane fl ytter til forstaden med sin fem år gamle sønn, møtes hun av kjølige blikk fra de andre mødrene. Men Madeline og Celeste tar Jane under sine vinger - men uten å røpe sine hemmeligheter. Så blir barna til de tre kvinnene involvert i en episode som først virker harmløs, men som raskt kommer ut av kontroll: Tisking og hvisking i skolegården blir til ondsinnede rykter blant de voksne. Til slutt er det ingen som kan skille løgn fra virkelighet ... Et mord? En ulykke? Eller bare foreldre som ikke kan oppføre seg... Store hvite løgner er en roman du vil kjenne deg igjen i, full av varme og humor. Men det er også en roman som tar for seg det mørke i livet - gråsonene og de farlige løgnene vi forteller oss selv.
