”Elämän ja kuoleman välissä on kirjasto”, hän sanoi. ”Kirjaston hyllyt jatkuvat ikuisesti. Jokainen kirja antaa mahdollisuuden kokeilla toisenlaista elämää. Millaista elämäsi olisi voinut olla, jos olisit tehnyt toisenlaisia valintoja? Jos voisit perua sen, mitä kadut, tekisitkö jotakin toisin?” Nora on 34-vuotias eikä elämässä ole kehumista. Hän on yksinäinen, sinkku ja saanut juuri potkut. Sitten hänen kissansa löytyy kuolleena kadulta, ja se tuntuu viimeiseltä pisaralta. Miksi hänen enää pitäisi elää? Kuoleman sijaan hän päätyy elämän ja kuoleman välissä sijaitsevaan kirjastoon, jossa voi kokeilla kaikkia niitä elämiä, jotka olisi voinut elää. Keskiyön kirjasto on suurenmoisen koskettava kirja elämästä, kuolemasta ja siitä, mikä jää niiden väliin. Se kertoo epätoivosta, toivosta, shakinpeluusta, katumuksen taltuttamisesta ja siitä, miten valita oikeat ihmiset ympärilleen. Matt Haig on tämän hetken suosituimpia brittiläisiä kirjailijoita. Hän on kirjoittanut sekä tietokirjoja että romaaneja aikuisille ja lapsille. Hän on saanut kirjoistaan lukuisia palkintoja ja niitä on käännetty yli 30 kielelle. Suomeksi häneltä on aiemmin julkaistu muun muassa romaani Kuinka aika pysäytetään sekä hänen omasta masennuksestaan ja siitä selviämisestä kertova tietokirja Syitä pysytellä hengissä.

Life with the Radleys: Radio 4, dinner parties with the Bishopthorpe neighbours and self-denial. Loads of self-denial. But all hell is about to break loose. When teenage daughter Clara gets attacked on the way home from a party, she and her brother Rowan finally discover why they can't sleep, can't eat a Thai salad without fear of asphyxiation and can't go outside unless they're smothered in Factor 50. With a visit from their lethally louche Uncle Will and an increasingly suspicious police force, life in Bishopthorpe is about to change. Drastically.
* New novel THE LIFE IMPOSSIBLE available in paperback now * THERE'S NO PLANET LIKE HOMEAfter an 'incident' one wet Friday night where he was found walking naked through the streets of Cambridge, Professor Andrew Martin is not feeling quite himself. Food sickens him. Clothes confound him. Even his loving wife and teenage son are repulsive to him. He feels lost amongst an alien species and hates everyone on the planet. Everyone, that is, except Newton, (and he's a dog). Who is he really? And what could make someone change their mind about the human race?

«Når noe virker som trolldom, er det rett og slett en del av livet vi ennå ikke forstår.» Da den pensjonerte mattelæreren Grace arver et forfallent hus på en Middelhavsøy av en gammel venninne, tar nysgjerrigheten overhånd. Hun ankommer Ibiza uten returbillett og reiseguide, og uten å ha noen plan videre. Langs de forrevne klippene og gylne strendene på Balearene leter Grace etter svar om venninnens liv og hvordan det endte. Det hun oppdager, er noe hun aldri kunne drømme om. Men for å dykke ned i denne umulige sannheten, må Grace først avfinne seg med fortiden. Fortellingen er fylt av under og eventyr, men det er også en bok om håp og hvilken livsendrende kraft det ligger i å få en ny start.
