DescriptionFrom the brilliant mind behind the multimillion-selling international sensation The Midnight Library comes a remarkable new novel, The Life Impossible by Matt Haig.
"What looks like magic is simply a part of life we don't understand yet . . ."
When retired Maths teacher Grace Winters inherits a dilapidated house on a sun-drenched Mediterranean island from a long-lost friend, the chains of routine and predictability no longer bind her. Leaving behind her familiar surroundings, Grace ventures to the island of Ibiza with nothing but a one-way ticket, an open mind, and an unquenchable curiosity. She arrives without a guidebook or detailed plans, eager to uncover the mysteries awaiting her.
As Grace settles into her new setting among Ibiza's rugged hills and shimmering beaches, she embarks on an explorative journey to understand the life and untimely demise of her enigmatic friend. Her odyssey leads her to revelations that challenge her perceptions and beliefs. What she discovers is far more extraordinary and surreal than anything she could have imagined, pushing her to confront not only her friend's secrets but also the unresolved complexities of her own past.
Full of enchanting wonder and heart-stirring adventure, The Life Impossible is a profound and uplifting narrative that exemplifies hope and the transformative power inherent in new beginnings. Matt Haig masterfully crafts a tale that blends the ordinary with the magical, exploring themes of mystery, self-discovery, and the ineffable connections that bind us.
'A beautiful novel full of life-affirming wonder and imagination' - Benedict Cumberbatch
With graceful prose and poignant insight, Haig takes readers on a remarkable journey through the realms of the unknown, offering a story that resonates with emotional depth and universal truth. The Life Impossible invites readers to embrace the magic hidden in everyday life and to believe in the possibilities of the impossible.
