Magical Realism at it’s very best, and whilst I loved The Midnight Library and the magic and poignancy of it, Matt Haig’s latest offering is somewhat more genre bending and defying. It has an air of cosy mystery, love, magic and that cop-out description of ‘life affirming.’ But it truly is. As with The Midnight Library you must suspend belief, and once you’ve done that and settled in, you’ll be in for a truly magical and affirming reading session. This book will encourage you to break down genre boundaries whilst also questioning your own life boundaries too. It’s quite special, really.
About the Book
‘What looks like magic is simply a part of life we don’t understand yet . . .’
When retired Maths 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 Balearics 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.
