The Midnight Library

The Midnight Library is an incredible novel that speaks of the infinite directions life can take and the relentless search for the right path.

At 35, Nora Seed is a woman full of talents and few achievements. Regretting her past choices, she constantly wonders what might have happened if she had lived differently. After being fired and her cat being run over, Nora sees little meaning in her existence and decides to put an end to it all. However, when she finds herself in the Midnight Library, Nora gets a unique opportunity to live all the lives she could have lived.

In this place between life and death, and thanks to the help of an old friend, Nora can finally move to Australia, rekindle old relationships—or start new ones—be a rock star, a glaciologist, an Olympic swimmer... the options are endless. But are any of these other lives truly better than the one she already has?

In The Midnight Library , Nora Seed finds herself in exactly the situation we all wish we could experience: going back in time and undoing something we regret. Faced with this possibility, Nora delves deep into herself, journeying through the books of the Midnight Library until she understands what is truly important in life and what truly makes it worth living.
