Order Jodi Picoult's stunning new novel about life, death, and missed opportunities.

THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

'A writer the world should be reading right now.' Independent

Who would you be, if you hadn't turned out to be the person you are now?

Dawn is a death doula, and spends her life helping people make the final transition peacefully.

But when the plane she's on plummets, she finds herself thinking not of the perfect life she has, but the life she was forced to abandon fifteen years ago - when she left behind a career in Egyptology, and a man she loved.

Against the odds, she survives, and the airline offers her a ticket to wherever she needs to get to - but the answer to that question suddenly seems uncertain.

As the path of her life forks in two very different directions, Dawn must confront questions she's never truly asked: what does a well-lived life look like? What do we leave behind when we go? And do we make our choices, or do our choices make us?

Two possible futures. One impossible choice.

'It is hard to exaggerate how well Picoult writes.' Financial Times

'A matchless talent for hitting emotional notes.' Irish Times

'A wise, cerebral, propulsive adventure . . . eruditely spans the worlds of Egyptology, university physics and end-of-life care, while never losing sight of its high-stakes human story . . . a captivatingly immersive, multilayered, painstakingly researched and impressively realised exploration of deeply human geographies.' The Sunday Times

'This complex, time-shifting romance combines moral hazard with Wuthering Heights echoes and degree-level Egyptology. And there aren't many books you can say that about.' Daily Mail

To die will be an awfully big adventure. - J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan

„There‘s the one who teaches you what love is, even if it doesn’t last. And then there’s the one who makes you a better human than you were, even as you do the same for him.“ Sehr gut geschrieben und auch das Fachwissen über Ägypten und Ägyptologie was vermittelt wird ist so interessant. Das Buch hat mich sehr zum nachdenken gebracht & auch zum reflektieren.
