The Midnight Train by Matt Haig

When Your Life Flashes Before Your Eyes… Where Would You Stop?

In The Midnight Train: A Novel, #1 New York Times bestselling author Matt Haig returns to the magical world of The Midnight Library with a breathtaking, life-affirming story about love, regret, and the moments that truly matter.

Eighty-one-year-old Wilbur Budd has built a successful life as a bookseller — but as he lies on the brink of death, a mysterious train arrives. The Midnight Train offers him something impossible: the chance to relive the most important moments of his past. He can step off at any stop and revisit the days that shaped him… especially his honeymoon in Venice with Maggie, the love of his life.

What begins as a wistful journey through memory quickly becomes something far more profound — and dangerous. Because changing the past is not allowed… and the more Wilbur tries to fix what he once lost, the more he risks losing everything forever.

Tender, wise, and deeply moving, The Midnight Train is a magical time-travel love story about second chances, the power of memory, and learning to let go. Perfect for anyone who loved The Midnight Library, this heartfelt novel reminds us that the most important chapter is the one we’re living right now.
