Each book offers you the chance to live another life you might have lived. You see what your life would be like now if you had made different choices… If you had the chance to make amends for your regrets, would you act differently in some ways?” Nora Seed is in a terrible state. Her cat died. She was fired from her job. Her brother won’t speak to her. No one needs her. After a series of bad decisions, she finds herself in a library. In a midnight library where time never passes, among an infinite number of books... Each book contains a different life Nora could have lived. Lives she might have lived if she had made different decisions. Moving between different careers, different spouses, different friends, and different cities, Nora’s mind fills with questions. Is happiness hidden only in the choices we think are important? Are we really responsible for every detail that goes wrong? What makes life worth living? Can one wrong decision cost a person their entire life? One of the leading figures in British literature, Matt Haig, offers readers who will accompany Nora on this journey through regrets, possibilities, and the chance to choose again a compelling fiction that deals with the most fundamental human problems. “In a world we all wish would change, we are all stuck together, when a modern-day fairy tale written just in time, the Wonderful Life of today.” Jodi Picoult “A captivating novel written with sincerity and humor, celebrating the power of books to change lives.” Sunday Times “Matt Haig uses words like a can opener. And we are the can.” Jeanette Winterson
