Alice tinha certeza de que era feliz: aos 29 anos, casada com Nick, um marido lindo e amoroso, aguardando o nascimento do primeiro filho rodeada pela linda família formada por sua irmã, a mãe atenciosa e a avó. Mas tudo parece ir por água abaixo quando ela acorda no chão da academia... dez anos depois! Enquanto tenta descobrir o que aconteceu nesse período, Alice percebe que se tornou alguém muito diferente: uma pessoa que não tem quase nada em comum com quem ela era na juventude e, pior, de quem ela não gosta nem um pouco.

Nove pessoas se reúnem em um spa bem distante da cidade. A quilômetros da civilização, sem carro nem celulares, elas não têm qualquer contato com o mundo exterior. Apenas tempo para pensarem em si mesmas e se conhecerem melhor. Algumas estão lá para perder peso, algumas para tentar recomeçar a vida, outras por razões inconfessáveis até para elas mesmas. No meio de tanto luxo e mimo, sucos e meditação, todos sabem que vão precisar se esforçar nos próximos dez dias. Mas ninguém é capaz de imaginar o tamanho do desafio.

Amigas de infância, Erika e Clementine não poderiam ser mais diferentes. Erika é obsessiva-compulsiva. Ela e o marido são contadores e não têm filhos. Já a completamente desorganizada Clementine é violoncelista, casada e mãe de duas adoráveis meninas. Certo dia, as duas famílias são inesperadamente convidadas para um churrasco de domingo na casa dos vizinhos de Erika, que são ricos e extravagantes.

The flight attendant working a shift on her birthday. The mother struggling alone with two young children. The newlyweds excited about their tropical honeymoon . The overworked father missing his kid’s big show. The young man returning from his best friend’s funeral. The ER nurse wondering what retirement will bring. All strangers. All unsuspecting. Each with a life heading in a particular direction – or so they imagine.

Aside from a delay, there will be no problems. The flight will be smooth, it will land safely. Everyone who gets on the plane will get off. But almost all of them will be forever changed. Because on this ordinary, short, domestic flight, something extraordinary happens. People learn how and when they are going to die. For some, their death is far in the future—age 103!—and they laugh. But for six passengers, their predicted deaths are not far away at all.

Imaginez un terrain de tennis. D'un côté, un couple modèle, heureux en mariage depuis cinquante ans. De l'autre, leurs quatre enfants, soit la panoplie du bonheur. L'enjeu de la partie ? Le grain de sable qui a enrayé une mécanique jusqu'alors parfaitement huilée, dévoilant des failles et des rivalités insoupçonnables, transformant les membres d'une famille idéale en de redoutables adversaires.

Einfühlsam und schonungslos: Mit feinem Sinn für Humor erzählt Liane Moriarty von tiefen Verletzungen und längst fälligen Wahrheiten. Die Delaneys sind in Sydney die Vorzeigefamilie par excellence. Stan und Joy blicken voller Stolz auf ihr Leben und die vier erwachsenen Kinder. Doch keiner der vier konnte so richtig Fuß fassen - weder privat noch beruflich. Zu übermächtig waren die Ansprüche der Eltern. Die scheinbare Idylle gerät ins Wanken, als eine Fremde das alte Ehepaar mit einer schmerzhaften Wahrheit konfrontiert und Joy daraufhin spurlos verschwindet.

From the outside, the Delaneys appear to be an enviably contented family. Even after all these years, former tennis coaches Joy and Stan are still winning tournaments, and now that they've sold the family business they have all the time in the world to learn how to 'relax'. Their four adult children are busy living their own lives, and while it could be argued they never quite achieved their destinies, no-one ever says that out loud.
