Bestselling writer and mental health campaigner, Matt Haig has a new novel out in May, and will be coming to the Savoy Theatre for an event with Rossiters Bookshop on 15 May.

His new novel, The Midnight Train is a time-travelling love story from the world of The Midnight Library, his multi-million bestseller published in 2020. The press release for The Midnight Train is here.

The Midnight Library was an instant Number 1 in the Sunday Times and New York Times Bestsellers lists, remaining in the UK and US top ten for a number of months, and selling 12 million copies to date. It was voted Goodreads Best Fiction Book of the Year (and now has over 2.4 million ratings on the platform), shortlisted for the Indie Book Awards and selected for BBC Two's Between the Covers Book Club, the Richard & Judy Book Club and the Good Morning America Book Club.

Matt’s books are published in 50 countries worldwide and The Midnight Train is already scheduled to publish in 25 territories over the next year, with lots more to follow. Film adaptions of his work include The Radleys staring Damien Lewis (released in 2022) and A Boy Called Christmas which was released on Netflix in 2021 with an incredible cast that included Maggie Smith, Jim Broadbent, Sally Hawkins and Toby Jones.

Alongside his popular genre-bending novels and his dozen much-loved children’s stories, Matt has also published meditations on, and a memoir about, his own mental health crisis: Notes on a Nervous Planet, Reasons to Stay Alive and The Comfort Book. The latter two became instant Sunday Times No1s on publication.
