She's been nursing a bad back, a cold, and a vicious paper cut, and she hopes the pampering and the light fasting will help solve her problems.īen and Jessica are a young married couple whose relationship has definitely seen better days. She knows she needs to lose some weight and come to terms with menopause, the imminent decline of her career, and the hurt and humiliation she feels after a romance has gone awry. In 10 days, the resort promises, they'll feel totally changed.įrances Welty, once a best-selling romance author, is one of those coming to Tranquillum House.

They're coming to lose weight, to detox a bit from the alcohol they've become fond of, to get lots of spa treatments and massages, and to get a jump on the problems that have been plaguing them. That's what is bringing nine people to Tranquillum House, an exclusive health resort in a remote part of Australia. The idea of self-improvement is often an appealing one, but it takes so much work, so when someone offers us a quick solution, how can we not jump on it? It’s not long before every guest at Tranquillum House is asking exactly the same question.Ĭombining all of the hallmarks that have made Liane Moriarty's writing a go-to for anyone looking for wickedly smart, page-turning fiction that will make you laugh and gasp, Nine Perfect Strangers once again shows why she is a master of her craft. 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? But the person that intrigues her most is the strange and charismatic owner/director of Tranquillum House. Most of them don’t look to be in need of a health resort at all. She’s immediately intrigued by her fellow guests. But none of them could imagine just how challenging the next ten days are going to be.įrances Welty, the formerly best-selling romantic novelist, arrives at Tranquillum House nursing a bad back, a broken heart, and an exquisitely painful paper cut.

Amidst all of the luxury and pampering, the mindfulness and meditation, they know these ten days might involve some real work. 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. Nine people gather at a remote health resort. These nine perfect strangers are about to find out. Could ten days at a health resort really change you forever?
