« Je sais que vous ne comprendrez pas que j'aie choisi de vous léguer cette maison. Mais faites-moi confiance : si je vous expliquais comment j'ai su que vous étiez la légataire idéale, vous me croiriez folle. » Professeure de mathématiques à la retraite, Grace Winters vit seule dans son pavillon depuis le décès de son mari. Une existence ennuyeuse rythmée par ses rendez-vous chez le médecin. Alors, quand une collègue perdue de vue une quarantaine d'années auparavant lui lègue une maison à Ibiza, elle embarque pour les Baléares sans vol retour. Des plages dorées paradisiaques aux mystérieux îlots surgissant de l'océan, Grace cherche des réponses : pour quelle raison Christina lui a-t-elle laissé cette maison ? Et pourquoi lui a-t-elle écrit qu'elle n'en avait plus pour longtemps quand sa mort semble avoir été accidentelle ? Alors que ses interrogations et ses doutes grandissent, Grace découvre une histoire qui dépasse la logique, une vérité impossible qui va remettre en question tout ce que son esprit cartésien lui a inculqué... Dans ce nouveau roman, Matt Haig nous offre une folle aventure d'espoir et de résilience, portée par une plume aussi mordante qu'addictive.

But when she doesn't know what, or who, she is protecting her from, how can she possibly know who to trust . . . ?
A novel about love, music and coming to terms with the past, from the author of the international bestseller The Rosie Project that has now sold over three million copies worldwide. On the cusp of fifty, Adam Sharp has a loyal partner, earns a good income as an IT contractor and is the music-trivia expert at quiz nights. It’s the lifestyle he wanted, but something’s missing. Two decades ago, on the other side of the world, his part-time piano playing led him into a passionate relationship with Angelina Brown, who’d abandoned law studies to pursue her acting dream. She gave Adam a chance to make it something more than an affair—but he didn’t take it. And now he can’t shake off his nostalgia for what might have been. Then, out of nowhere, Angelina gets in touch. What does she want? Does Adam dare to live dangerously? How far will he go for a second chance?
