Why do you think the author Matt Haig decided to have a 72-year-old widow for his protagonist?
Let’s discuss the significance of the title, The Life Impossible, in relation to the story and the larger message of the book.
The story is written as a email composed by Grace to her former student. Do you like the letter writing narrative? Why or why not?
After receiving the shock of being left a house in Ibiza by a former colleague, why did Grace decide to book a one way ticket and check it out?
When did you get that sense that this wasn’t a straight forward story, and that there was something magical, and even sci-fi, about Ibiza and what happened to Christina?
Despite her better judgment, she goes to Alberto, the man she knows is involved somehow with Christina’s disappearance. Why did Grace undertake this investigation?
We learn quite a bit about Grace’s past. Her 11-year-old son tragically died, and she always blamed herself for what happened. She eventually cheats on her husband in an effort to feel
something again. And after her husband passed away, she is all alone. Let’s discuss all those key revelations and how it shaped the Grace we meet at the beginning of the novel.
