This was an exquisite read - as someone who also loves with depression, I could feel Nora’s despair as everything in her life seemed to go wrong all at once. And I love the notion of the library, of the chance to try the roads not taken.
By the final chapters, I had a sense of what would happen. Still, Haig got there with beautiful prose that kept me listening until the last moments. And now I feel like writing new poetry of my own. Stunning, gorgeous book.
