Coup de coeur
Coup de coeur (Literature), by Giuseppe
A quietly magical and deeply human story, The Life Impossible follows Grace Winters, a 72-year-old woman whose life is transformed after a mysterious inheritance leads her to Ibizaand to unexpected powers. Matt Haig masterfully blends emotional depth with a touch of the fantastical, crafting a moving tale about grief, second chances, and rediscovering joy at any age. Grace is a refreshingly real and complex protagonist, and her journey is both heartwarming and inspiring. If you love reflective fiction with hope, heart, and a little bit of wonder, this novel is a must-read.

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

'A beautiful novel full of life-affirming wonder and imagination' BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH

'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 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.
