Matt Haig

The author of The Midnight Library and How to Stop Time returns with 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.

Haig, who writes for children and adults, introduces The Life Impossible in this event.

Haig’s 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.
