Pre-Festival Special Event: Liane Moriarty

September 18, 2024

Australian author Liane Moriarty has a gift for writing smart, sensational page-turners that have the entertainment industry waiting on speed dial. Her novel Big Little Lies was the inspiration behind the HBO limited series that won eight Emmy Awards; Nine Perfect Strangers and Apples Never Fall were also turned into star-studded TV adaptations. She joins us in Vancouver to launch Here One Moment, a riveting new novel that follows a group of passengers on a seemingly ordinary domestic flight, who learn how and when they are going to die. If you knew your future, would you try to fight fate?

A modern-day Jane Austen, Moriarty asks profound questions and humorously skewers social mores, while spinning a web of mystery. She speaks with Eddy Boudel Tan at the Djavad Mowafaghian Cinema, followed by an audience Q&A and signing.

Books can be purchased during check-out, or at the event, courtesy of Book Warehouse.

Youth under 25 can purchase a discounted ticket for $20!

Vancouver Writers Fest is proud to recognize SFU as a cultural partner.
