The Midnight Library (hardcover)

Description

By Matt Haig

Between life and death there is a library, and in that library the shelves go on forever. Every book is a chance to try another life you could have lived, to see how things would have gone if you had chosen differently at any point.

Nora Seed arrives there at the lowest moment of her life and is given the run of the shelves: the career she abandoned, the man she did not marry, the glaciologist she meant to become. What she has to work out, one life at a time, is whether any of them is actually better, and what makes a life worth living in the first place.
