Liane Moriarty, celebrated Australian novelist, is preparing for the release of her latest book, Here One Moment, with a mix of excitement and trepidation. As she walks along the picturesque Balmoral Beach in Sydney, she reflects on her upcoming tour that will take her around the world to promote her new novel.
Despite her shy nature, Moriarty enjoys connecting with readers and hearing their interpretations of her work. She finds inspiration in everyday human interactions and uses them to create authentic characters in her novels. Her latest book delves into themes of life, death, and fate, posing the question, “If you knew when you were going to die, what would you do differently?”
The novel, which was inspired by a flight delay, explores the idea of mortality and the control people have over their lives. Moriarty’s keen observation skills and ability to capture the nuances of relationships make her work universally appealing. While all of her adult novels have been optioned for screen adaptation, she never writes with that in mind, instead focusing on creating relatable characters and settings.
As Moriarty navigates the challenges of promoting her new book, she remains grateful for the joy of storytelling and the connections it creates with readers. With themes of gratitude and the celebration of life, Here One Moment promises to be a thought-provoking and introspective read. The novel is available now in Australia and will be released in the US, Canada, and the UK in the coming weeks.
