Opening sentence: 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.
In The Midnight Library, he explores this highly personal theme in novel form. He has written two non-fiction books about mental health – Reasons to Stay Alive and Notes on a Nervous Planet and a brilliant children’s book, The Truth Pixie that also talks about mental health in a way children can understand. Matt Haig has been very open about his mental health, in interviews and on his social media platforms he has revealed that he has attempted suicide in the past. I started The Midnight Library and honestly had a huge personal paradigm shift while reading. A few weeks ago I was having a bad Corona day (you know the ones, where you feel like the black fog of this nightmare will never end and you’ll be trapped in a dystopian world forever…) so I was desperate for a few hours of escapism. Sometimes it seems fortuitous that you pick up a book ( The Midnight Library in this case) at the exact moment it can really help you.
