Da znate kada ćete umrijeti biste li se prepustili sudbini ili ju pokušali promijeniti? Vjerujete li da je sve već zapisano ili ipak imamo utjecaja na naše živote?
Jedan naizgled običan let, koji će proći bez ikakvih tehničkih problema, zauvijek će promijeniti živote putnika. Dok mlada majka pokušava savladati svoje dvoje malene djece, dok elegantan gospodin razmišlja o nastupu svoje kćeri na koji kasni, dok mladenci sanjare o zajedničkoj budućnosti i mlada stjuardesa Allegra razmišlja o svom životu, jedna putnica ustaje i započinje svoja predviđanja o kraju njihovih života. Neke će nasmijati, a neke izrazito uznemiriti…
Fantastična knjiga koju bih propustila da nije bilo @mozaik i njihovog prijevoda jer je što se mene tiče prošla potpuno nezapaženo. A bilo bi mi stvarno žao!
Osim same radnje s kojom sam oduševljena tu je i Cherry. Cherry je glavni lik kakve posebno volim – neobična, drugačija, pomalo neprilagođena društvenim normama. Podsjetila me na neke od najdražih likova poput Molly iz Sobarice i Sally iz Neobične Sally Diamond. Jednostavno je divna.
Jedan tren je knjiga koja me držala prikovanu uz svoje stranice od početka do kraja. Knjiga koja me natjerala da zbog strašne znatiželje i nestrpljivosti preskačem stranice kako bih otkrila što će se dalje dogoditi nekom od likova, a to NIKADA ne radim. Ali stvarno NIKADA. Petstotinjak stranica pročitati ćete kao da ih je jedva sto i neće vam biti dovoljno. A i kada pročitate još će vam se dugo motati po mislima.

If you knew when you were going to die, would you accept it or try to change it? Do you believe that everything is already written in the stars or do we still have something to say?
Here One Moment – Liane Moriarty
A seemingly ordinary flight, which will pass without any technical problems, will forever change the lives of passengers. While a young mother tries to control her two small children, while an elegant gentleman thinks about his daughter’s performance for which he is late, while newlyweds dream of a future together and young flight attendant Allegra thinks about her life, one passenger gets up and begins her predictions about the end of their lives. Some will laugh, and some will be extremely upset…
A fantastic book that I would have missed if it weren’t for @mozaik and their translation, because as far as I’m concerned, it went completely under the radar. And I would be really sorry!
Not only did I love the plot but there is also Cherry. Cherry is the main character that I especially love – quirky, different, slightly unadapted to social norms. She reminded me of some of my favorite characters like Molly from The Housemaid and Sally from The Curious Case of Sally Diamond. She is just wonderful.
Here One Moment is a book that kept me glued to its pages from beginning to end. A book that made me skip pages out of sheer curiosity and impatience to find out what would happen to one of the characters, and I NEVER do that. And I mean NEVE. You’ll read about five hundred pages as if they were barely a hundred, and it won’t be enough. And even when you finish, it will linger in your mind for a long time. I’ve really enjoyed it.
