Praise For This Book


"Already one of the year's most sought-after books... as much an adventure as an exploration of the things that are most important in life." -Tanya Sharma, Daily Mail

"Matt Haig's newest tale achieves modern classic status... . The book offers wisdom, redemption, and the journey of a lifetime for Wilbur, and for readers." -Stefanie Milligan, Christian Science Monitor

"The reminders to treasure the life you're living, in the moment, are as important as ever. Readers will be lining up to place this book on hold." -Jennifer Mills, Library Journal

"There's something magical about train travel and Venice, so pairing the two with Matt Haig's The Midnight Train-a new time-traveling love story that recalls his bestseller The Midnight Library-feels fitting." -Reader's Digest

"Haig has a way of making you ask deep and reflective questions of yourself as you read. There's no doubt that he'll do the same as you take The Midnight Train." -Parade

"Touching ... [Haig] authentically evokes Wilbur's fears and regrets over the course of a life marked by sacrifice. This will please the author's fans." -Publishers Weekly
