Digital Book Club - January 2026

This month’s Digital Book Club title is The Impossible Life by Matt Haig.

When retired Maths teacher Grace Winters is left a run-down house on a Mediterranean island by a long-lost friend, curiosity gets the better of her. She arrives in Ibiza with a one-way ticket, no guidebook and no plan.

When Grace searches for answers about her friend's life, and how it ended, what she uncovers is stranger than she could have dreamed. But to dive into this impossible truth, Grace must first come to terms with her past.

The Impossible Life is available on BorrowBox as an eBook and eAudiobook with no waiting.
