About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

How do you find something that doesn't exist?

It all begins with an egg . . .
With a hungry child who risks her life for an omelette for tea - and finds a miracle.
With thieves committing crimes against nature on the wild cliffs of Yorkshire.
With a marvel that becomes a mystery . . .
and then a myth.

And 100 years later it begins again. . .
With a strange robbery at a remote Welsh cottage.
With two friends thrust from their gaming chairs into a real-life quest.
And with dangerous men who will stop at nothing to get what they want.

It all begins with an egg.
But where will it end?


‘It’s hard to overstate the absolute charm of
The Impossible Thing. Remember the feeling of wonder the first time you fell in love with a book? This.’
VAL McDERMID

‘One of the most enjoyable novels I've read in ages . . . utterly distinctive and totally addictive.’ PAULA HAWKINS

'Extraordinary. There's a deceptive simplicity to The Impossible Thing that packs a real punch.' ANN CLEEVES
