The remarkable next novel from Matt Haig, the author of #1 New York Times bestseller The Midnight Library, with more than nine million copies sold worldwide.
"What looks like magic is simply a part of life we don't understand yet…"
When retired math teacher Grace Winters is left a run-down house on a Mediterranean island by a long-lost friend, curiosity gets the better of her. She arrives in Ibiza with a one-way ticket, no guidebook and no plan.
Among the rugged hills and golden beaches of the island, Grace searches for answers about her friend's life, and how it ended. What she uncovers is stranger than she could have dreamed. But to dive into this impossible truth, Grace must first come to terms with her past.
Filled with wonder and wild adventure, this is a story of hope and the life-changing power of a new beginning.
"Haig's magnificent latest... In [his] sure hands, magic comes to breathtaking life." —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"In a world that seems to be getting more unstable by the moment, Haig's novels are a steady ship in rough seas...the author's insistence on the power of connection to change lives comes through loud and clear." —Kirkus Reviews
"Matt Haig's latest novel is a remarkable heroine's journey, exploring the boundaries of forgiveness, grief, joy, and what it means to be human in a universe where we're not alone. I adored it." —J. Ryan Stradal, New York Times bestselling author of Kitchens of the Great Midwest
"Stunning. It's not only exquisitely written but has so much magic woven through it. A beautiful book for us all to get lost in." —Fearne Cotton, creator and host of Happy Place
