Exploring the Midnight Library
Have you ever been so overwhelmed with all the things that could've been?
In this story we follow Nora Seed, a woman caught between life and death, who discovers a library filled with infinite possibilities: every book represents a different version of her life had she made different choices. The novel is at once whimsical and deeply human, gently exploring regrets, second chances, and the meaning of a well-lived life. It’s not just a story — it’s a reminder to embrace the life we already have.
Matt Haig's writing is beautifully simple yet profound, making it a book you can pick up on a quiet evening without feeling weighed down.
