The Midnight Library

von Matt Haig

Format:Hardcover

'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 had made other choices... Would you have done anything different, if you had the chance to undo your regrets?' A dazzling novel about all the choices that go into a life well lived, from the internationally bestselling author of Reasons to Stay Alive and How To Stop Time.Somewhere out beyond the edge of the universe there is a library that contains an infinite number of books, each one the story of another reality. One tells the story of your life as it is, along with another book for the other life you could have lived if you had made a different choice at any point in your life. While we all wonder how our lives might have been, what if you had the chance to go to the library and see for yourself? Would any of these other lives truly be better?In The Midnight Library, Matt Haig's enchanting novel, Nora Seed finds herself faced with this decision. Faced with the possibility of changing her life for a new one, following a different career, undoing old breakups, realizing her dreams of becoming a glaciologist; she must search within herself as she travels through the Midnight Library to decide what is truly fulfilling in life, and what makes it worth living in the first place.

Xuan le GohRezension von Xuan le Goh

i kind of enjoyed the themes of authenticity and opportunity in this book, but i felt like the premise could've been much better executed. the repetitive nature of this book was made worse (imo) by the way Nora's realizations in each life felt unearned. oftentimes, haig simply told us that Nora's states of mind changed, but didn't provide sufficient resources for justifying that change and how that change felt. X happens, and then half a page of seemingly unrelated adages would ensue; this made Nora's growth feel extremely cheap. likewise with the philosophical quotes flung around and the underexplored slop about quantum physics.
