The Midnight Library by Matt Haig

Next up on our exciting Winti Bookworm booklist is Matt Haig's The Midnight Library...

...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?

Nora Seed finds herself faced with several choices - the possibility of changing her old 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.

Matt Haig came to writing novels from a period of trauma in his life after suffering a metal breakdown in his 20s. He has been nick-named the 'accidental health guru' Greatly looking forward to reading this book.
