"A celebration of life's possibilities . . . A beautiful concept . . . Charming"

"A rare and welcome light of hope and wisdom in the darkness" (JOANNE HARRIS)

"A wonderful story . . . Such a beautiful book to get lost in" (Zoe Ball, BBC Radio 2)

"A brilliant premise and great fun to have so many stories within one book"

"Amazing and utterly beautiful, The Midnight Library is everything you'd expect from the genius storyteller who is Matt Haig" (JOANNA CANNON)

"Absorbing . . . A vision of limitless possibility, of new roads taken, of new lives lived, of a whole different world available to us somehow, somewhere, might be exactly what's wanted in these troubled and troubling times"

I loved every second of this story. The performance was superb and the concept of the library one I think I will remember for always. I lost my brother to depression and it is comforting to think that maybe he too ended up inside the midnight library in one life. Mrs Elm is a superb character. We all need a Mrs Elm in our lives. This book should be prescribed to anyone suffering from Depression or Anxiety. It is - in itself - the gift of life, and one can’t but hope that if listened to by someone at the right time, it might save a life one day.
