Description
I know you won't understand why I chose to leave you this house. But trust me: if I explained how I knew you were the ideal legatee, you'd think I was crazy.. Retired math teacher Grace Winters has lived alone in her house since her husband's death. A boring existence punctuated by doctor's appointments. So, when a colleague she lost touch with forty years ago leaves her a house in Ibiza, she embarks for the Balearic Islands with no return flight. From golden paradise beaches to mysterious islets emerging from the ocean, Grace seeks answers: why did Christina leave her this house? And why did she write that she didn't have long to live when her death seems to have been accidental? As her questions and doubts grow, Grace discovers a story that defies logic, an impossible truth that will challenge everything her Cartesian mind has taught her.... In this new novel, Matt Haig offers us a crazy adventure of hope and resilience, carried by a pen as sharp as it is addictive.
