TweetReviews
Four of our group read this, 3 gave it 4 stars and one didn’t rate it well at all. There were slow parts but an interesting concept and some really interesting conversations arose from the discussion.
Mixed views on the ending!
This is another gripping novel by Liane Moriarty, which was published earlier this year. A bunch of people board a plane to travel from Hobart, Tasmania to Sydney. They are a disparate bunch, and include the chief-stewardess Allegra, a newly-wed couple, a frazzled young mother with two small children, a grieving young man returning from a funeral, an emergency room nurse, and many others. Mid-flight a woman walks down the aisle and starts to predict the date and cause of death for everybody on board. Most take it as a joke but some take it seriously and the novel then follows the lives of some of the people who had early-death predictions, as well as the life of the woman who made the predictions. One way or another everyone’s lives are changed, even those who took it for a joke, and eventually the reader finds out what is actually happening. I think Liane Moriarty is completely brilliant at blending the lives of many people and asking questions of the reader. Who is the culprit? Why this is happening? Is this even a crime, or not? I loved this.
