Description:

When elderly Wilbur's life flashes before his eyes after a near-fatal heart attack, he finds himself aboard a mysterious midnight train — one that cannot change the past, but can carry him back to relive the moments that mattered most. He revisits his brightest days and his deepest regrets, above all his time with Maggie, the love of his life, and their honeymoon in Venice, before he gave it all away. Longing to go back and live differently, Wilbur must reckon with what such a choice might cost. A tender, time-travelling love story set in the same world as the bestselling The Midnight Library, this is a quietly moving meditation on regret, second chances, possibility, and the courage it takes to forgive yourself and move forward. Haig writes with his trademark blend of melancholy and gentle hope.
