B组 Ⅰ.阅读 A (2022山东青岛高考模拟) Amazing and perfectly beautiful,The Midnight Library is everything you’d expect from the genius storyteller,Matt Haig.I picked it up from our readers’ recommendations (we asked our readers to send in some of their favourite recent books) and I can see why it won Best Fiction of 2020 in the Good Reads Choice Awards. The story follows Nora Seed,a woman who is struggling and feels like nothing in her life has gone according to plan.While the initial chapters of the book are quite sad,Nora finds herself given a chance to start over in the Midnight Library,a magical place full of books of all the different paths her life could have taken.Nora is forced to stay in the library and try out different versions of her life until she finds the life she most wants to live. I loved the idea that no dream or fork in your road is insignificant,and that they all lead us to become different versions of ourselves.In one life,Nora is an Olympic swimmer.In another,she is a glaciologist living on a boat off the coast of Antarctica.The novel reveals in a beautiful way that the potential we all have within us is impossible to measure,and that we have the possibility to be happy in many different versions of life. It also discusses how dangerous it can be to live your life with regrets.The Midnight Library reveals to us that even if you make very different choices,you may uncover a deeper appreciation for your current home and the people in your life.It is your perspective that matters. I really loved the fantasy and magical realism in this novel,and I would love for this to be turned into a series where we can get to explore The Midnight Library of other characters’ lives as well. 1.What can we know about the author of the text?
