The Midnight Library

by Matt Haig · 2020

Literary Fiction · ranked #69 in category

Nora Seed, at the worst moment of her life, finds herself in a library between life and death where every book is a different version of the life she could have lived. Each time she opens a book she lives that life and discovers what she gave up — and what she gained — in the one she chose. A novel about regret, possibility and the life you have.
