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).
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?.'
Effortless and elegant writing by Matt Haig. Perhaps too effortless but I’ll let it slide for Matt Haig having the all-year-round productivity of me three hours before my deadlines. What if we are living the worst possible life amongst the infinite possibl...

算是有疫情時代特色的書。聽的BBC的有聲書,演繹得有聲有色的。故事說不上新但是給我帶來瞭一些驚喜。敞開心扉並不是一件容易的事情。害怕被拒絕,勇敢地麵對,勇敢地感受苦痛。
评分立意不錯,可惜情節無趣,還不如之前看過的那篇立意相似的文章呢。。。
评分聽完瞭音頻版,感覺也沒有必要買實體書看,很簡單的故事

评分故事要傳遞的信息比故事本身更重要。生活就是無盡後悔的過程,也許在另一個人生裏,你做瞭和這個人生不一樣的選擇,曾經那些看起來抱憾終身事情,你都一一彌補,但迴頭發現,那樣的人生,仍然充滿遺憾。
