Matt Haig delivers another outstanding novel with The Life Impossible, showcasing his talent for blending magical realism with deeply relatable characters. The story centers on Grace Winter, a retired math teacher in her seventies, grappling with grief after losing her husband and son. When she inherits a property in Ibiza from a long-lost acquaintance, her curiosity leads her on a transformative journey. As she dives into the depths of the ocean with an instructor named Alberto, she discovers newfound powers that not only change her life but also allow her to impact her surroundings, fighting against the encroachment of development.
While some may argue that The Life Impossible doesn’t quite reach the heights of Haig’s earlier masterpieces, The Midnight Library and How to Stop Time, it stands out as a compelling read in its own right. The themes of environmentalism, history, and the pursuit of a simpler life resonate powerfully in today’s context. Haig's ability to evoke a spectrum of human emotions—love, grief, guilt, and the quest for meaning—ensures this novel lingers in the mind long after reading. Whether you’re in your thirties or seventies, Grace’s journey is sure to resonate, making this a thought-provoking and immersive experience that earns a solid five stars. Thank you to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for the opportunity to read this ARC.
