The Life Impossible...

Bewertung am 16.05.2025

Bewertungsnummer: 2492072

Bewertet: Buch (Gebundene Ausgabe)

This story takes place on the island of Ibiza, where Grace Winters flew in because of a letter she had received from a friend of hers. At the beginning, many questions are unanswered, which then are clarified as the story continues. This makes this book so exciting. It describes the environment and the experience clearly and detailed, and that’s why you can take a deep dive into the story. The characters are described authentically and well. The story drags on a bit and at times feels somewhat forced. However, I particularly loved the atmosphere and it reads like a relaxing vacation on Ibiza, although the tension stays until the end of this lovely book. This book is perfect for everyone looking to take a break from everyday life.

Matt Haig hat wieder einen Roman veröffentlicht, etwas, auf das ich mich immer freue. Doch dieses Mal konnte es mich nicht abholen. Vielleicht lag es an der Protagonistin Grace, eine pensionierte Mathematiklehrerin, die nicht an Wunder glaubt und in der Logik und Berechenbarkeit der Zahlen ihren Halt findet, die von Anfang an so konträr zu mir selbst ist. Vielleicht war es das Setting in Ibiza, das mich nicht wirklich angezogen hat, da ich weder Strand-noch Partyurlaub wirklich gerne mache. Am Ende blieb einfach nicht viel hängen, da ich nie die Verbindung zu den Charakteren und der Geschichte aufgebaut habe und ich nur mehr gelesen habe, um das Buch zu beenden. Bestimmt beinhaltet es für den einen oder anderen wichtige, erhellende Lebensweisheiten, aber dieser Matt Haig wird wohl nicht mein Favorit. Ich gebe aber die Hoffnung nicht auf, dass der nächste Roman wieder mehr meinen Geschmack trifft.

I loved the initial set-up of the story. A man in his early twenties writes to his retired maths teacher to ask for advice on life. And the teacher doesn’t just reply with a normal letter, but with a detailed account of her latest, life-changing experiences. Haig slipped effortlessly into the character of his first-person narrator, 72-year-old Grace Winters. I loved the way Grace talks, her choice of words and her way to split the story into many chapters, a lot of which are not much longer than three pages. I loved how much knowledge on mathematics she shared – even though mathematics was always my weak spot in school. I also have to admire how much wisdom on life Haig transports with “The Life Impossible”. Because it always felt as if another helpful thought might lay in wait just around the corner for me to find. That was truly enjoyable. However: Grace’s experiences on Ibiza only cover a few days, I believe. But it took me, at least, much longer to read it. Which means that she explains a lot – of what is happening and especially what she was thinking at the time. We are inside her head for most of it and after a while I found that a bite tiresome. Also because – as is normal with human thoughts – they keep revolving around the same topics. Furthermore, her experiences are very unusual, to say the least, a bit on the mystical side of things. At some point it felt as though Haig was whacking me over the head with all his advice – on nature, preservation, guilt, age, shame and what we deserve. I have to admit that I skipped over the last twenty pages and did not read them in detail anymore. Still, there are a few things which I hope to keep in mind. And maybe it just wasn’t the right moment for me to read “The Life Impossible” and I’ll just have to give it another go again in a few years.
