Nora Seed has depression. And regrets, so many regrets. How would her life have turned out if she had made different decisions? The Midnight Library exists between worlds and gives Nora the chance to try the lives she didn't lead. Are they better than the life she knew?
A book which is by turns funny, touching, sad and delightful. Nora is an engaging character and we find out a great deal about her (and a bit about her favourite philosophers) as the novel progresses. A varied and believable cast of supporting characters too: I particularly liked the librarian, Mrs Elm. A really good read.
