This was WONDERFUL. As someone who has had experience of mental health issues, this was an intriguing premise and will definitely change the way I look at my life.
Nora was a character I certainly identified with, as I bet many people did. She had pain, and struggled to move on from her decisions.

WOW. I don't know what I expected, but this audiobook was the right book at the right time. I'd been feeling really low for weeks and this almost served as more self-help than fiction, lol.

¿Existe una antesala de la muerte? Es decir, un lugar metafórico o astral donde reside nuestra conciencia antes de la muerte misma. Si tal lugar existe, ¿cómo es? La biblioteca de la medianoche es ese lugar que sirve como transición entre la vida y la muerte. El reloj se detiene a las 00:00 hrs, y los libros muestran todas las posibles vidas del visitante, y al tomar un libro, puede leerlo y vivirlo, como una especie de evaluación de sus decisiones.
