The Midnight Library

Autor: Matt Haig

The novel centers on Nora Seed, a 35-year-old woman overwhelmed by regret and depression who attempts suicide.  Between life and death, Nora finds herself in a mystical library where every book represents a different version of her life. Guided by her childhood librarian, Mrs. Elm, Nora “slides” into alternate realities to see how her life would have changed if she had made different choices—such as becoming a glaciologist, an Olympic swimmer, or staying with an ex-fiancé. She must find a life she truly wants to live before the library—and her original body—collapses.
