Your next favorite book
is waiting.
When your life flashes before your eyes, where would you stop?
No one can change the past, but the Midnight Train can take you there.
The chance to re-live the moments that meant most.
To see what kind of person you really were.
For Wilbur his best days were with Maggie, the love of his life. On his honeymoon in Venice.
Before he gave it all away.
He wishes he could go back and live differently. But to do so risks everything ...
A magical, time-travelling love story, from the world of The Midnight Library.
"This isn't a subtle book and it's not trying to be; it's urging readers to think about their own choices, wherever they find themselves. A shaky balance between saccharine and sage will nevertheless appeal to the author's fans and readers seeking balm." —Kirkus Reviews
"Touching...[Haig] authentically evokes Wilbur's fears and regrets over the course of a life marked by sacrifice. This will please the author's fans." —Publishers Weekly
