Matt Haig talks to Alex Clark

The author of The Midnight Library and How to Stop Time introduces his new novel The Life Impossible, a story of wild adventure and deep transformation.

When retired maths teacher Grace 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.

Matt Haig writes for both children and adults. His memoir Reasons to Stay Alive was a number one bestseller, and his children’s book A Boy Called Christmas was made into a film starring Maggie Smith, Sally Hawkins and Jim Broadbent.
