What if every regret you've ever had was filed somewhere?
What if the afterlife had a waiting room... and you were handed the wrong regret?
Martin Blunt wakes up after routine surgery not in a hospital bed, but in the Department of Regrets, a vast, endlessly bureaucratic institution where every choice, every word, and every missed opportunity is meticulously filed.
What begins as a simple filing error, carrying someone else's regret for forty-two years, becomes an unforgettable journey through the archives of human longing. As Martin wanders the Romantic Regrets wing, the Bureau of Alternate Lives, and the Warehouse of Embarrassing Memories, he discovers something far more important than his correct file: he's been waiting his entire life to start living.
Warm, witty, and profoundly moving, The Department of Regrets is a heartfelt reminder that the ordinary life you already have might be more than enough, if only you stop waiting for the perfect moment to live it.
