在生與死的交界處有座圖書館,裡面每本書都是一次重生的機會。
如果有機會挽回遺憾,你是否會做不同的人生抉擇?
暢銷作品《活著的理由》、《時光邊緣的男人》作者麥特.海格,這次藉由一間異想天開的圖書館,讓人重新思索關於遺憾、希望,以及人生中真正重要的事。
在宇宙的某個角落,有著這樣的一間圖書館:裡面藏書無數,其中一本描述了你現在的人生;其他的書記載著各式各樣,隨著你做不同抉擇而產生的其他版本人生。如果有機會體驗這些精采的人生,你願意冒險一試嗎?
在《午夜圖書館》中,諾拉‧希德便獲得這個難得機會,一窺與自己擦身而過的人生際遇:當上搖滾巨星、成為冰川學家、擁有和樂的家庭…隨著她檢視自己一輩子所做過的決定,她必須找出人生中最有意義的那件事,才有機會扭轉命運。

"Somewhere out beyond the edge of the universe there is a library that contains an infinite number of books, each one the story of another reality. One tells the story of your life as it is, along with another book for the other life you could have lived if you had made a different choice at any point in your life. While we all wonder how our lives might have been, what if you had the chance to go to the library and see for yourself? Would any of these other lives truly be better? In The Midnight Library, Matt Haig’s enchanting blockbuster novel, Nora Seed finds herself faced with this decision. Faced with the possibility of changing her life for a new one, following a different career, undoing old breakups, realizing her dreams of becoming a glaciologist; she must search within herself as she travels through the Midnight Library to decide what is truly fulfilling in life, and what makes it worth living in the first place."--
