From Matt Haig's Twitter: 'It is about a library between life and death where a woman gets to try all her other lives she could have lived. It will be out next September if I actually finish it.
Nora feels swamped by all the bad choices she has made in life and attempts to take her own life. Then, when given the chance to see all the ways her life could have been different, she must finally work out the answer to the ultimate question: what is the best way to live?.'
Matt Haig was born in Sheffield, England in1975. He writes books for both adults and children, often blending the worlds of domestic reality and outright fantasy, with a quirky twist. His bestselling novels are translated into 28 languages. The Guardian has described his writing as 'delightfully weird' and the New York Times has called him 'a novelist of great talent' whose writing is 'funny, riveting and heartbreaking'.
His novels for adults are The Last Family in England, narrated by a labrador and optioned for film by Brad Pitt; The Dead Fathers Club (2006), an update of Hamlet featuring an 11-year-old boy; The Possession of Mr Cave (2008), about a man obsessed with his daughter's safety, and The Radleys (2010) which won Channel 4's TV Book Club public vote and was shortlisted for a Galaxy National Book Award (UK). The film rights to all his adult novels have been sold. His next adult novel is The Humans (2013).
His multi-award winning popular first novel for children, Shadow Forest, was published in 2007 and its sequel, The Runaway Troll, in 2009. His most recent children's novel is To Be A Cat (2012).
很喜欢很喜欢。 就是对那种细腻的、富洞察力的、表面波澜不惊的文字着迷。 进入中段几乎每页都有一段话让我忍不住反复品读。 而即使放下文笔不谈,这本身也是a beautifully written philosophical story. 有时让我想起电影《蝴蝶效应》——可又不一样,蝴蝶效应说的是悲剧结局...
评分可读性很强的小说。主人公Nora生活在自幼出生的小镇上,度过了悲惨的一天,她被老板辞退失业了,她养了多年的猫被撞死,她给唯一的好朋友发送的消息被已阅不回,她生活中所剩不多的乐趣—教男孩音乐,也被男孩家长告知以后终止。回想过去的人生,Nora觉得自己的人生充满遗憾,...

评分这本书代表一种浅显,也不深刻,但它老道理新装也写出新趣味,通向真理的路可以有几万种,换条路走走也能让你收获有价值的思考。书里的故事就像一个水到渠成的谈话引导,说的可能零碎,并不直接相关,但它的内容另类完整自成逻辑,让你的思考路径从琐碎的生活中被拉扯出来,转...
算是有疫情时代特色的书。听的BBC的有声书,演绎得有声有色的。故事说不上新但是给我带来了一些惊喜。敞开心扉并不是一件容易的事情。害怕被拒绝,勇敢地面对,勇敢地感受苦痛。
评分看一半弃了,这种是我最讨厌的故事类型。女主人生一团糟,要自杀然后徘徊在生死之间(书里设定就是这个午夜图书馆),图书馆里每一本书都是她人生的另一个可能性,然后她回去再经历一次,最后这些事情介绍她学到一些人生教诲/意义。天!我看过的这种日剧还不够多吗???? 勉强给3星。
评分这本书大概能改掉我只看narrator(Carey Mulligan!)不看简介就买书的毛病 自杀还不让死 要去一遍一遍体验平行的生活 太痛苦了太痛苦了 最后停在已婚有娃(duh)读剑桥的章节也许还能说得过去 结尾这一大碗硬灌的鸡汤太难喝了 唯一喜欢的是遇到熊的段落
评分非常无聊的一本书 看的发困 就当学英语看吧 逼自己看完了
评分沒完沒了絮絮叨叨罐裝雞湯,唯一的好處在是聽的audible不佔用我珍貴的用眼時間
