Latest / Simon Mayo's Books of the Year

Matt Haig

Matt Haig joins Simon and Matt to talk about his new novel, 'The Midnight Train'.

They discuss the inspirations for this book, how Matt see's it as a sibling to The Midnight Library- and why he wants us to challenge the fears of getting older. Matt talks about optimism and hopefulness, wasting time (and life) on the wrong things and what we should do about regrets.

They also talk about the film adaptation of The Midnight Library, which is going to star Florence Pugh as Nora Seed - and we're very excited to see it.
