      OVERVIEW

      Matt Haig, a New York Times bestselling British author, will release The Midnight Library in 2020. Haig addresses weighty issues in this novel through the main character, Nora Seed, who attempts suicide and must explore what it means to live in the gray area between life and death.

      The book also discusses the power of perception and how small acts of kindness can have a big impact. The Midnight Library won the Goodreads Choice Awards for Best Fiction and quickly became a best seller. Haig's other works include the Sunday Times bestseller Reasons to Stay Alive, a children's novel A Boy Called Christmas, How to Stop Time, and Notes on a Nervous Planet.

      PLOT

      The novel begins with a shocking revelation: Nora Seed, the main character, will attempt suicide 19 years after the events of the Prologue. The Prologue takes place in the Hazeldene School library, where Nora is playing chess with Mrs. Elm, the school librarian.

      To her father's chagrin, Nora has recently retired from competitive swimming. She is now concerned about her future. Mrs. Elm reminds Nora that she can go wherever she wants and be whoever she wants. Mrs. Elm, in particular, encourages Nora to leave Bedford and pursue a career in glaciology. Mrs. Elm informs Nora that her father has died of a heart attack a short time later. Mrs. Elm consoles a bereaved Nora.

      The story is set 19 years in the future. Nora is still in Bedford, living a drab existence. Nora's cat, Voltaire, dies in two days, her estranged brother visits town but ignores her, she is fired from her job at the music store String Theory, and her only music student, Leo, cancels his lessons.

      These setbacks,
