The story follows Wilbur, whose happiest memories are connected to Maggie, the love of his life, particularly their honeymoon in Venice. After looking back on the choices that changed his life, Wilbur discovers the extraordinary Midnight Train, which can take passengers back to important moments from their past. Given the opportunity to revisit the experiences that mattered most, he must confront his memories and consider whether changing the past could also change the future. Described as a time-travelling love story, the novel explores second chances, marriage, regret, memory, and the difficult question of what we would change if we could live parts of our lives again.
