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.

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).
我也曾有过这样的幻想,也可以说是脑洞。在上大学之前,我就想过,如果我选了不同的大学,那人生是不是会不一样?接着,我就陷入了对于之前人生的复盘之中… 进入不同的小学,中学…没有出国留学…接受不同大学的offer… 又或者是没有放弃练琴…没有那段暗淡无光的日子…在异国...
评分很喜欢很喜欢。 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...

评分因为太热销,反而拖了一段时间才开始听。 前1/3,简直快要听不下去了,满脑子都是疑惑:为什么这本书评分这么高??女主太矫情,身怀各项talent却有一颗林妹妹的心,I think the problem is not that she wants nothing, but that she wants EVERYTHING! 中1/3,有几段life还算...
