What this book is about
On an ordinary delayed flight from Sydney to Hobart, a middle-aged woman rises from her seat and delivers predictions to fellow passengers — specific, detailed predictions about how and when they will die. Most dismiss her as strange. Then her predictions start coming true. Liane Moriarty's novel — her most ambitious — follows the passengers in the aftermath: the people who were told they'd die soon, the ones who were told they'd live to old age, and the question of what you do with knowledge like that.
