What if you could live every possible version of your life?

In The Midnight Library, Matt Haig delivers a moving, thought-provoking story about second chances and the roads not taken. At the edge of the universe, there’s a library unlike any other—one where every book contains a different version of your life, had you made different choices.

When Nora Seed, burdened by regret and despair, finds herself in this magical library between life and death, she’s given the rare opportunity to explore all the “what ifs” of her past. What if she had pursued her dream of becoming a glaciologist? What if she’d stayed with her former partner? What if she had chosen a different career, a different city, or a different life altogether?

As Nora journeys through countless alternate realities, she begins to understand what makes life meaningful, what truly brings happiness, and how every decision—no matter how small—can shape a lifetime.
