Australian novelist Liane Moriarty is gearing up for the release of her new novel, Here One Moment. Despite feeling trepidation before the launch and upcoming promotional tour, Moriarty finds solace in walking along her favorite spot in Sydney. She discusses the personal impact her books have on readers and the unexpected stories they share with her.
Known for her keen observations of human interactions and relationships, Moriarty draws inspiration from everyday life and people’s inner thoughts. Her latest novel, Here One Moment, explores themes of life, death, fate, and the question of what one would do differently if they knew when they were going to die.
While all of Moriarty’s adult novels have been optioned for screen adaptation, she never writes with that in mind. She is deeply connected to Sydney, where she has lived her entire life, and her characters often come from a familiar milieu. Moriarty’s authenticity and focus on relationships have contributed to the widespread appeal of her work.
As she walks along Balmoral Beach, Moriarty reflects on the complexities of life and the gratitude for being alive, which is a central theme in Here One Moment. Despite the weighty subject matter of death, Moriarty finds joy in the simple pleasures of life and the connections she makes with readers through her writing.
Here One Moment by Liane Moriarty is now available in Australia and will be released in the US, Canada, and the UK in September.
