Book Description | Between life and death is a library, and within that library, the shelves continue to live forever. Each book gives you a chance to experience another life you could have lived, to see how things would have been if you had made other choices. Would you have done something different, if you had the chance to undo actions you regret?” Somewhere outside the circumference of the universe is a library with countless books, each representing another true story, one telling the story of your life as it is, along with another book about the other life you could have lived if you had made a different decision at any point in your life, while we all wonder what our lives would have been like, what if you had the chance to go to the library and see for yourself? Are any of these other lives really better? In The Midnight Library, Matt Haig's charming new novel, Nora Seed finds herself faced with this decision, faced with the possibility of changing her life for a new one, pursuing a different career, shedding old baggage, and realizing her dreams of becoming a glaciologist; she must search within herself as she travels through the Midnight Library to decide what is truly satisfying in life, and what is worth living for in the first place |
