Description:
|
Retired maths teacher Grace Winters is up for a later-in-life adventure when she is bequeathed a house on the island of Ibiza by an old friend. Setting out to solve the mystery of her friend’s death, Grace comes up against the impossible, but for the impossible to become possible, she must first unpack her own past. Cradled by its beautiful Mediterranean setting and buoyed by its fantastical elements, this is an uplifting story, both profound and insightful, where it seems the truth may be stranger than fiction.

Most of the group enjoyed this story, especially as it explored the views and experiences of an older female as the main character. An insightful storyline, well-written. |

"The Life Impossible' was received with mixed reactions. All members enjoyed his writing style, but many could not get into the supernatural element of this story and did not finish reading it. I personally loved it - but I was alone in that! |
