From Matt Haig's Twitter: 'It is about a library between life and death where a woman gets to try all her other lives she could have lived. It will be out next September if I actually finish it.
Nora feels swamped by all the bad choices she has made in life and attempts to take her own life. Then, when given the chance to see all the ways her life could have been different, she must finally work out the answer to the ultimate question: what is the best way to live?.'
Matt Haig was born in Sheffield, England in1975. He writes books for both adults and children, often blending the worlds of domestic reality and outright fantasy, with a quirky twist.

The film rights to all his adult novels have been sold. His next adult novel is The Humans (2013).

评分如果需要一本书来陪伴、反思那个充满混乱与孤独的2020年,"the Midnight Library"是不错的选择。 故事并不复杂:经历孤独、失业、爱宠去世等一系列失意事件后,绝望的Nora决心自杀。在生与死的交界,Nora的意识来到了一个图书馆。图书馆的每一本书都记载了她每个不同选择下衍生...
评分可读性很强的小说。主人公Nora生活在自幼出生的小镇上,度过了悲惨的一天,她被老板辞退失业了,她养了多年的猫被撞死,她给唯一的好朋友发送的消息被已阅不回,她生活中所剩不多的乐趣—教男孩音乐,也被男孩家长告知以后终止。回想过去的人生,Nora觉得自己的人生充满遗憾,...
评分春节开了这本书,鸡汤有点多,中间停了好久,今天总算看完了。
评分这本书大概能改掉我只看narrator(Carey Mulligan!)不看简介就买书的毛病 自杀还不让死 要去一遍一遍体验平行的生活 太痛苦了太痛苦了 最后停在已婚有娃(duh)读剑桥的章节也许还能说得过去 结尾这一大碗硬灌的鸡汤太难喝了 唯一喜欢的是遇到熊的段落
评分小红书博士热推。用奇幻的手笔写出了人生种种的困惑无奈绝望但又满怀希望,一心去寻死的人是忘掉了自己对生活的热爱,自以为陷入万劫不复的深渊其实可能只是一个及膝的游泳池,自己拉自己一把,便会活过来的。人不一定要时时刻刻坚强,但一定要记得和自己和解啊,自己放过自己,才会找到出路。别人可能不了解你不要紧,你一定要了解你自己,你一定不是孤独的,一切都会过去。身边有个朋友说:自杀的人本身就是矫情的。我听到的时候相当震惊。这是多么自私自大自命不凡的人才能说出的话,同理心的缺失也是一种心理残疾吧。即使不能够做到 put yourself into other people's shoes,不能理解也没关系,起码的尊重和谅解至少可以做到。愿一切经受磨难的人都能守得云开见月明,柳暗花明又一村。
评分立意不错,可惜情节无趣,还不如之前看过的那篇立意相似的文章呢。。。
