The Warmth of a Small Library

“Nineteen years before she decided to die, Nora Seed sat in the warmth of the small library at Hazeldene School in the town of Bedford.”

The Midnight Library by Matt Haig

Lory and I are both reading a book that a friend mentioned, The Midnight Library. I’m less than halfway through, but I liked the first line so much I didn’t want to wait to share it. 

“Nineteen years before she decided to die…” Before she decided to die? Why did she decide to die and why are we nineteen years from the decision?

Sitting in the warmth of a small library feels at odds with her coming decision to die. Does the library have something to do with it?

I’m enjoying the book and looking forward to the rest of it.

I’m not familiar with Haig, but he has written a good number of books. I’ll probably be checking him out. Any Haig fans out there? Let us know at twosides2thestory@yahoo.com
