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.
