The midnight train

No one can change the past, but the Midnight Train can take you there. It offers the chance to re-live the moments that meant the most, and to see what kind of person you really were. For Wilbur, his best days were with Maggie, the love of his life, on their honeymoon in Venice — before he gave it all away. In this moving novel from Matt Haig, the Midnight Train carries readers through memory, regret, and second chances, asking what we would do if we could step back into the days that shaped us. Published by Canongate, this 297-page paperback is a poignant meditation on love and loss.
