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.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
This enchanting tale of self-discovery proves it’s never too late for a new beginning or a touch of magic in our lives. After unexpectedly inheriting a run-down house in Ibiza from a long-lost friend, retired math teacher Grace Winters impulsively leaves her quiet life in England behind, arriving on the sun-drenched Mediterranean shores without a real plan. As she explores the island’s rugged landscapes and dives into its enigmatic seagrass meadows, Grace encounters a mysterious blue light. Known to locals as La Presencia, the light changes Grace in ways she never imagined were possible. Suddenly gifted with extraordinary abilities, Grace finds herself not only healing from the grief of her past but also standing up to protect the island from an unscrupulous developer. Author Matt Haig’s bewitching prose and vivid descriptions bring Ibiza’s magic to life, making The Life Impossible a potent dose of wonder and hope that reminds us to embrace new adventures and find our purpose.
