NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Now a Hulu original series "If three characters were good in Big Little Lies, nine are even better in Nine Perfect Strangers." ??Lisa Scottoline, The New York Times Book Review /> From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Big Little Lies Could ten days at a health resort really change you forever? In Liane Moriarty's latest page-turner, nine perfect strangers are about to find out... Nine people gather at a remote health resort. Some are here to lose weight, some are here to get a reboot on life, some are here for reasons they can't even admit to themselves. Amidst all of the luxury and pampering, the mindfulness and meditation, they know these ten days might involve some real work. But none of them could imagine just how challenging the next ten days are going to be. Frances Welty, the formerly best-selling romantic novelist, arrives at Tranquillum House nursing a bad back, a broken heart, and an exquisitely painful paper cut. She's immediately intrigued by her fellow guests. Most of them don't look to be in need of a health resort at all. But the person that intrigues her most is the strange and charismatic owner/director of Tranquillum House. Could this person really have the answers Frances didn't even know she was seeking? Should Frances put aside her doubts and immerse herself in everything Tranquillum House has to offer ?? or should she run while she still can? It's not long before every guest at Tranquillum House is asking exactly the same question. Combining all of the hallmarks that have made her writing a go-to for anyone looking for wickedly smart, page-turning fiction that will make you laugh and gasp, Liane Moriarty's Nine Perfect Strangers once again shows why she is a master of her craft… (mehr)
BookshelfMonstrosity: These witty mainstream novels feature ensemble casts of strangers thrown together, but under very different circumstances. Both books are darkly humorous and feature distinct, fully realized characters whose backstories are slowly teased out, revealing piles of emotional baggage.… (mehr)
BookshelfMonstrosity: An eclectic assortment of complex characters are thrown together in these darkly humorous novels. In both, luxury vacations turn out to be anything but.
Liane Moriarty's Nine Perfect Strangers was an intelligent, engrossing, well-researched, and alluringly written novel about nine Australians at an expensive rural health spa that promises life-changing results, and which delivers them, although not in a manner expected by its guests, the local police department, and Moriarty's devoted readers.
Tranquilium House is run by Masha, a charismatic, tough, ex-corporate executive who emigrated from Russia, and who has issues, huge ones, under her perfect veneer. Her guests include a writer or romantic novels, an AFC alum, a lawyer, a family grieving a suicide, and a wealthy young couple on the verge of divorce. Astonished by an enforced silence, rigorous fasting, and separation anxiety as their electronic devices are confiscated for the duration of the retreat, the guests think they've survived the worst a health spa has to offer, but they're utterly off the mark there.
Peopled by realistic and interesting characters, plotted cleverly, with surprises around a realistic number of corners, Nine Perfect Strangers was an extremely entertaining and insightful book, and was a great start to a new year and new decade of reading. ( )
Nine people gather together at a resort for ten days for various reasons. They are required to give up all connections to outside life - cell phone, no TV, no newspapers - and fully immerse themselves into the resort's ways. At one point during the ten days, there is absolutely no talking. They all have specific foods that they are eating but it's not all the same foods.
Masha is the owner/director of the resort and she works with Yao and Delilah. Masha was formerly an executive who suffered a heart attack and Yao was one of the paramedics who saved her.
It's not long into the ten-day retreat when everyone is wondering if the retreat is really helping them. The story was good and then kind of went "off the rails" towards the end but everything was pretty neatly wrapped up.
I've always enjoyed Liane Moriarty's book but wasn't as thrilled with this one as I would have hoped. ( )
Read this one for a new book club starting at my local Starbucks, plus I like Liane Moriarty so it was an easy one to pick up.
This story is about the 9 strangers who attended a 10 day “health clinic” run by a by a mysterious & charismatic women who had transformed her own health.
It’s a good beach book - a mix of serious and funny like all of Moriarty’s books are. I liked most of it but it did drag on a bit (especially the parts in the yoga & meditation studio) and the ending was oddly rushed but overall fine.
