"A feel-good book guaranteed to lift your spirits."--The Washington Post
A New York Times bestseller. Winner of the Goodreads Choice Award for Fiction. A Good Morning American Book Club Pick.
"Between life and death there is a library, and within that library, the shelves go on forever. Every book provides a chance to try another life you could have lived. To see how things would be if you had made other choices... Would you have done anything differently, if you had the chance to undo your regrets?"
A dazzling novel about all the choices that go into a life well-lived, from the internationally best-selling author of Reasons to Stay Alive and How to Stop Time.
Matt Haig's new novel The Midnight Library takes us to another world of people who are somewhere in between life and death, along with a young woman, Nora Seed, who does make terrible choices in her life. She has lost her brother, her job, and her best friend. Her relationship is chaos and her life is nothing but a chore. She chooses to kill herself by taking an overdose of anti-depressant, the world goes black and she is in Midnight Library that contains an infinite number of books. Each book gives another choice of living a life that could have been different from her past life. Nora finds herself faced with this decision of following a different career, undoing old breakups, realizing her dreams of becoming a glaciologist; she must search within herself as she travels through the Midnight Library to decide what makes it worth living in the first place.
We all wonder how our lives might have been if we would have taken the other path? Would any of these other lives truly be better? What if you had the chance to go to the library and see for yourself.
