It's tempting to fantasize about a path not taken in one's life, and to feel regrets for a missed opportunity. But, what if this hindsight is flawed? Haig's beautiful and imaginative story is an 'It's a Wonderful Life' style antidote to our own - probably misplaced - regrets about life choices. By the close of this absorbing tale you may well decide that the best life for you is the one that you already have.
