书籍简介

如果你知道自己的未来，你会尝试与命运抗争吗？

除了延误，不会有任何问题。飞行会很顺利，会安全着陆。每个上飞机的人都会下飞机。但几乎所有人都会永远改变。

因为在这趟普通、短暂的国内航班上，发生了一些不同寻常的事情。人们了解到他们将如何以及何时死去。对一些人来说，他们的死亡还远在未来——103岁！——他们会笑。但对于六名乘客来说，他们预计的死亡并不遥远。

他们怎么知道的？飞机上表面上有更有趣的人（新娘和新郎、紧张不安、可能很有名的女人、看起来像下班超级英雄的海姆斯沃斯式的巨人、疲惫不堪、美丽的空姐），但没有人会像“死亡女士”那样出名。

没有一位乘客或机组人员后来会记得注意到她登上了飞机。她不是特别老或年轻，粗鲁或礼貌。她没有醉酒，没有紧张，也没有怀孕。她的外表和举止平淡无奇。但她在那次航班上所做的一切确实非同寻常。

几个月后，一名乘客的死亡正如她所预测的那样。然后又有两名乘客死亡，正如她所说的那样。很快，没有人会认为这只是鸡尾酒会上的一个有趣的故事。

如果有人告诉你你只剩下一段时间可以活了，你会做不同的事情吗？你会试图逃避你的命运吗？

莉安·莫里亚蒂的《此刻》是一个构思巧妙的故事，讲述了自由意志和命运、悲伤和爱，以及在一个不确定的世界中保持确定性和控制的无尽斗争。莫里亚蒂是现代简·奥斯汀，她幽默地讽刺社会习俗，同时编织出一张神秘的网络，在她新的《我迫不及待想知道会发生什么》小说中提出了深刻的问题。

If you knew your future, would you try to fight fate?

Aside from a delay, there will be no problems. The flight will be smooth, it will land safely. Everyone who gets on the plane will get off. But almost all of them will be forever changed.

Because on this ordinary, short, domestic flight, something extraordinary happens. People learn how and when they are going to die. For some, their death is far in the future—age 103!—and they laugh. But for six passengers, their predicted deaths are not far away at all.

How do they know this? There were ostensibly more interesting people on the flight (the bride and groom, the jittery, possibly famous woman, the giant Hemsworth-esque guy who looks like an off-duty superhero, the frazzled, gorgeous flight attendant) but none would become as famous as “The Death Lady.”

Not a single passenger or crew member will later recall noticing her board the plane. She wasn’t exceptionally old or young, rude or polite. She wasn’t drunk or nervous or pregnant. Her appearance and demeanor were unremarkable. But what she did on that flight was truly remarkable.

A few months later, one passenger dies exactly as she predicted. Then two more passengers die, again, as she said they would. Soon no one is thinking this is simply an entertaining story at a cocktail party.

If you were told you only had a certain amount of time left to live, would you do things differently? Would you try to dodge your destiny?

Liane Moriarty’s Here One Moment is a brilliantly constructed tale that looks at free will and destiny, grief and love, and the endless struggle to maintain certainty and control in an uncertain world. A modern-day Jane Austen who humorously skewers social mores while spinning a web of mystery, Moriarty asks profound questions in her newest I-can’t-wait-to-find-out-what-happens novel.
