Background

Authorial Context: Liane Moriarty

Liane Moriarty was born in Sydney, Australia in 1966. She held positions in marketing before writing her first novel as part of her master’s degree at Sydney’s Macquarie University. Her fifth novel, The Husband’s Secret, was her first #1 New York Times bestseller; her next, Big Little Lies, debuted at #1 on the list. She was the first Australian author to hold that record. Eight of her 10 novels have now achieved bestseller status. She has sold over 20 million copies of her books worldwide; they have been translated into 40 languages.

In its review of Here One Moment, the New York Times described Moriarty’s style as “a reliable bastion of breezy yet propulsive storytelling, smartly informed by relevant issues of the day” such as infertility, wellness culture, and domestic abuse (Greenblatt, Leah. “In Liane Moriarty’s Bustling New Novel, Fate Takes Flight.” The New York Times, 10 Sept. 2024). The review highlighted signatures of her style, including believable characters, humor, and her “unshowy” emotional intelligence. It pointed out that few other mainstream fiction writers explore main characters who are middle-aged or older.

In a separate interview with the New York Times, Moriarty explains the genesis of Here One Moment.
