Nora's life has been going from bad to worse. Then at the stroke of midnight on her last day on earth she finds herself transported to a library. There she is given the chance to undo her regrets and try out each of the other lives she might have lived. Which raises the ultimate question: with infinite choices, what is the best way to live?
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Ever since his debut, The Last Family in England, featured a Labrador as a narrator, Matt Haig has displayed an incisive gift for using the supernatural to explore our everyday behaviour. Here, he takes us through the sliding doors of The Midnight Library. In this purgatory filled with books, Nora, a disillusioned thirtysomething on the edge of death, is given the chance to sample her alternative life stories and discover what might have been if she’d made some decisions differently. Taking the troubled, likeable Nora through her parallel realities, and serving up plenty of page-turning drama and warm wit along the way, Haig unpacks the true nature of regret and offers optimistic reminders why, even in our darkest hours, life can be worth holding on to.
