Description
Passengers on the Hobart-Sydney flight are waiting on board for takeoff. Among them are a mother overwhelmed by her two children, newlyweds on their honeymoon, a father returning home, a grieving man, a nurse nearing retirement, and a flight attendant celebrating her birthday. Strangers destined never to meet again. But suddenly, a small, discreet grey-haired woman stands up from her seat and addresses each of them, announcing the exact date and circumstances of their death. Who is she? A true psychic or a madwoman? For our travelers, one thing is certain: life will never be the same again. With her corrosive wit and benevolent gaze, Liane Moriarty, like a modern-day Jane Austen, brings us back to our most intimate questions.
