On an ordinary, short domestic flight, passengers learn how and when they will die. A mysterious woman, unremarkable at first, predicts their fates. For some, death is distant—perhaps at age 103—and they laugh it off. But for six passengers, their predicted deaths are imminent. The story unfolds as they grapple with their newfound knowledge and the choices it forces upon them.
The central conflict revolves around the passengers’ foreknowledge of their deaths. As the predictions come true, the tension escalates. Each character faces existential questions: How would you live if you knew your time was limited? The story explores free will, destiny, grief, and love. The narrative weaves mystery and intrigue, keeping readers engaged until the resolution.
The novel takes place during an ordinary flight, but its impact transcends the mundane. The confined space becomes a microcosm of life’s uncertainties. The setting influences characters’ reactions, relationships, and decisions.
Liane Moriarty’s writing combines humor, mystery, and social commentary. Her style is reminiscent of a modern-day Jane Austen, as she skewers social norms while crafting a compelling narrative. The prose is accessible, engaging, and thought-provoking.
