About this listen
‘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 of the Balearics 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.©2024 Matt Haig (P)2024 Canongate Books Ltd

Beautiful
Joanna Lumley was a brilliant choice to narrate this magical story reflecting on the human existence, our relationship with nature, connection and forgiveness.

Boring, melodramatic, poor narration (accents)
Poor Spanish accent. Boring, melodramatic story, hard to get through - felt like a really slog

Too realistic
The in-depth descriptions of the narrating character's feelings were too realistic - feelings and experiences were dwelled on for far too long.

It was delightful to hear Joanna Lumley reading this intriguing, sweet, encouraging and sometimes funny story. An uplifting story.

THANK YOU MATT HAIG AND JOANNA LUMLEY
Matt's story called Joanna to tell it, as the ocean called to Grace. I will forever cherish this story, as I do the Midnight Library. 💙🍍🐐🤿🌊✨️

I didn’t want this to end it was so good!
This is the most relaxing and beautifully written book, narrated by a voice that was a perfect fit for this book. Highly recommend. Now on the lookout for more books narrated by Joanna Lumley! Unfortunately I need to wait for Matt Haig’s next book though.
