« 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.

'He did kill. Kill and kill and kill.' Tess's number one priority has always been her three-year-old daughter Poppy. But splitting up with Poppy's father Jason means that she cannot always be there to keep her daughter safe. When she finds a disturbing drawing, dark and menacing, among her daughter's brightly coloured paintings, Tess is convinced that Poppy has witnessed something terrible. Something that her young mind is struggling to put into words. But no one will listen. It's only a child's drawing, isn't it? Tess will protect Poppy, whatever the price. But when she doesn't know what, or who, she is protecting her from, how can she possibly know who to trust . . . ?

On the cusp of fifty and a happy introvert, Adam is content. He's the music expert at his local pub-quiz and he and his partner Claire rumble along. Life may not be rock n' roll, but neither is it easy listening. Yet something has always felt off-key. And that's his nostalgia for what might have been, his blazing affair - more than twenty years ago, on the other side of the world - with Angelina Brown, a smart and sexy, strong-willed actress who taught him for the first time, as he played piano and she sang, what it meant to find - and then lose - love. How different might his life be if he hadn't let her walk away? Then, out of nowhere, Angelina gets in touch. Adam has sung about second chances, but does he have the courage to believe in them?
