What if there was a way to correct the regrets in your life? To see what would happen if you made a different choice? Welcome to the Midnight Library, located between the instant of life and death.
Nora Seed has many regrets and, in her depressed mind, is living an isolated, unimportant life. When she visits the Midnight Library, she visits the lives she could have had: different careers, reimagined relationships, or missed opportunities. Along the way, she learns that many of her regrets are really other people’s dreams for her and that each version of life carries its own sadness and disappointments.
In which life does she belong? Which life is most fulfilling? The Midnight Library creatively show us that life is made up of many choices. It’s popularity and great reviews (4.24 on Goodreads) are credit to Haig’s ability to endear us to Nora and her many different lives. And our natural curiosity about our own missed opportunities. In the end, if we focus too much on a life not-lived, we miss out on the joy of the life we are living.
Happy Reading!
