BOOK REVIEW
The Midnight Library
Author: Matt Haig
Matt Haig has created a novel where the concept of a Midnight library gives one a second chance at life.
To quote from the book, ‘Between life and death there is a library and within that library the shelves go on forever. Every book provides a chance to try another life you could have lived. To see how things would be if you made other choices…’
The revolving library shelves are filled with books which offer a choice of lives yet to be experienced beginning with the Book of Regrets.
After experiencing many tragedies and disappointments Nora Seed has become very dissatisfied with her life and is on the brink of ending it.
By selecting volume after volume from the Midnight Library she finds herself in different situations/relationships, all with different outcomes. In each situation she is able to determine if this is the life that is meant for her.
To quote again –‘ It is not lives we regret not living that is the real problem. It is the regret itself.’
This book is magical, beautifully written and fascinating in its concept.
It is one of the best books I have read in a very long time.
