Nine perfect strangers, each hiding an imperfect life. A luxury retreat cut off from the outside world. Ten days that promise to change your life. But some promises - like some lives - are perfect lies… Review “Astutely observed, pacey fiction. The characters and observations are acute - and often a hoot. Nicole Kidman has already bought the film rights”(Sunday Times) “Original, suspenseful and laugh-out-loud funny. Nine Perfect Strangers is downright brilliant” (Clare Mackintosh) “Utter brilliance, with a twist halfway through that blew my mind”(Marian Keyes) “Another page-turning belter of a book… with wit, charm, emotion, drama and mystery aplenty, this is an absolute must”(Heat) “This wonderful novel had me utterly hooked” (Daily Mail) “A fantastic piece of entertainment . . . Read this witty and fast-moving novel now, before the inevitable TV series” (The Times) “I've discovered the brilliant Liane Moriarty and couldn't be happier. Her books really are the definition of unputdownable”(Nina Stibbe) 玛莎（Masha）是疗养中心的负责人，她经营这间疗养中心之前，曾是事业女强人，但经历了濒死经验，彻底改变人生方向。她过去不为人知的黑暗是否还残留？如今她致力于疗养中心的营运，企图帮助每位入住的客人，让他们真诚地面对自己。

每个接受帮助的客人，将如何面对突如其来的疑惑？在短时间内，如何接纳彼此？每个人背后的故事，又将如何牵动彼此？ 莉安·莫利亚提（Liane Moriarty），澳大利亚人，长居悉尼，曾是澳大利亚知名的广告撰稿人。莫利亚提擅长将曲折的情节与性格坚强的女性角色相互结合，情节丝丝入扣，心理描写幽微而逼真。故事叙述娓娓道来，结尾令人诧异唏嘘。精巧的写作手法使得她的小说别具一格，散发出独特的魅力，引发读者强烈的共鸣。

She didn't look fine to Yao.

It was his first day as a trainee paramedic. His third call-out. Yao wasn't nervous, but he was in a hypervigilant state because he couldn't bear to make even an inconsequential mistake. When he was a child, mistakes had made him wail inconsolably, and they still made his stomach cramp.

A single bead of perspiration rolled down the woman's face, leaving a snail's trail through her makeup. Yao wondered why women painted their faces orange, but that was not relevant.

"I'm fine. Maybe just twenty-four-hour virus," she said, with the hint of an Eastern European accent.

"Observe everything about your patient and their environment,"

Yao's supervisor, Finn, had told him."Think of yourself as a secret agent looking for diagnostic clues."

Yao observed a middle-aged, overweight woman with pronounced pink shadows under distinctive sea-green eyes and wispy brown hair pulled into a sad little knot at the back of her neck. She was pale and clammy, her breathing ragged. A heavy smoker, judging by her ashtray scent. She sat in a high-backed leather chair behind a gigantic desk.

It seemed like she was something of a bigwig, if the size of this plush corner office and its floor-to-ceiling harbor views were any indication of corporate status. They were on the seventeenth floor and the sails of the Opera House were so close you could see the diamond-shaped cream and white tiles.

The woman had one hand on her mouse. She scrolled through emails on her oversized computer screen, as if the two paramedics checking her over were a minor inconvenience, repairmen there to fix a PowerPoint. She wore a tailored navy business suit like a punishment, the jacket pulled uncomfortably tight across her shoulders.

Yao took the woman's free hand and clipped a pulse oximeter onto her finger. He noted a shiny, scaly patch of reddish skin on her forearm. Pre-diabetic?

Finn asked, "Are you on any medication, Masha?" He had a chatty, loose manner with patients, as if he were making small talk at a barbecue, beer in hand.
