THE MIDNIGHT LIBRARY: A NOVEL- JULY 2021 BOOK SELECTION

 

Nora Seed is in complete despair. Her life seems irretrievably broken. She attempts an ultimate solution but while on the cusp of death, she finds herself in an infinite, other-worldly library.

She meets “the librarian,” who seems to be a familiar figure from her childhood. The librarian helps her discover that each book in this endless selection is a possible life Nora could have had, had she made different choices, and can still have. All she need do is open a book. We follow Nora on her journey as she samples alternate lives.

Matt Haig has written a fascinating novel which examines the nature of existence and how choice ultimately changes outcome.

Highly recommend.
