À propos de cet audio

Between life and death there is a library.

When Nora Seed finds herself in the Midnight Library, she has a chance to make things right. Up until now, her life has been full of misery and regret. She feels she has let everyone down, including herself. But things are about to change. The books in the Midnight Library enable Nora to live as if she had done things differently.

With the help of an old friend, she can now undo every one of her regrets as she tries to work out her perfect life. But things aren’t always what she imagined they’d be, and soon her choices place the library and herself in extreme danger. Before time runs out, she must answer the ultimate question: What is the best way to live?

Good not great.

The book has a great message, and the production was solid. Overall I like the concept but the book was kind of underwhelming. The writing was good just lacked an exciting climax.

Loved this book. I hope they make it into a movie.

Makes you wonder about about other universes out there. A beautiful story I wished would not end.

Easy read that’ll really make you think

Quite a simple listen, nothing too detailed or overbearing. The story was well written and superbly performed. It really make you take a moment and think about regrets that you may have in life. It makes you wonder what would happen had you made just one different decision.

The best book, you won’t regret it

I can’t even begin to explain how absolutely beautiful this book is. It lives up to all of its amazing reviews. It is everything that a person needs to hear about life. Not only is the story itself captivating but the incredible narration done by Carey Mulligan really pulls you in and really makes the entire thing come alive. I’m not sure if I can find another book to top this one this year but this will surely be something I listen to again and again!

All life's possibilities explored

Nora is depressed and despairing.  After a suicide attempt she finds herself in a bespoke library where every book is an alternate version of other lives that Nora  could have lived if she made different decisions and or pursued different paths. And honestly, if you could undo or fix any regretful decision you've made, wouldn't you be tempted?  

If this sounds like a simple plot, (and in some ways it is) it does not reflect the almost musical lyricism of Nora's thoughts, feelings and observations, and the poignancy of the lives she experiences.  These are the journeys Nora makes to experience what is fulfilling, as she discovers that sometimes the "best" lives can be worse.

Initially this is not an easy read, there are sections in the early part of the book that are almost excruciating when Nora is struggling mentally in her 'root life' or is floundering in trying to slide seamlessly into those alternate lives she explores; but this is such a worthwhile read. I want to describe it as heartfelt, that it is more than that. This novel celebrates life, and the small steps that can make any existence immeasurably better.  

This book was amazing and I highly recommend it.

Deep, meaningful and accessible

I found this a bit depressing at the start and almost gave up but I’m so glad I didn’t. Philosophical, instructive and so rich and meaningful. Loved the dark, sardonic moments of humour and the deepening of Nora’s character as she lived her lives. I’m sure I will ponder this for weeks and months to come.

Vey enjoyable

This was my first fiction audio book. I love reading and was afraid the narrator would interfere with my vision of the characters. This narrator was excellent! I enjoyed that she was British so her accent added to the story. Great book too- very uplifting.
