Nora Seedová takovou možnost dostane, když se ocitne v tajemné Půlnoční knihovně – ale ruku na srdce, měnit by s ní chtěl asi jen málokdo. Aby se tam totiž dostala, musela se ocitnout na prahu života a smrti, a to v jejím případě vlastním přičiněním.

He feels a connection with Audrey; a feeling Daniel knows he was never designed to have, and cannot explain. And when Audrey is placed in terrible danger, he’s determined to save her.ECHO BOY is a powerful story about love, loss and what makes us truly human.

Nora Seedová takovou možnost dostane, když se ocitne v tajemné Půlnoční knihovně - ale ruku na srdce, měnit by s ní chtěl asi jen málokdo. Aby se tam totiž dostala, musela se ocitnout na prahu života a smrti, a to v jejím případě vlastním přičiněním. Nořin dosavadní život byl plný zoufalství a výčitek a jednoho dne ji pocit, že všechny zklamala a nikdo ji nepotřebuje, dovedl až k pokusu o sebevraždu. Nyní to však vypadá, že dostala druhou šanci, respektive takřka nekonečné množství druhých šancí. Půlnoční knihovna tápající ženě umožní odčinit hříchy její minulosti a vyzkoušet si nejrůznější alternativní životní role - stát se starostlivou manželkou, slavnou zpěvačkou, uznávanou filozofkou, úspěšnou sportovkyní nebo milující matkou. Záleží už jen na ní, jestli mezi tolika životními cestami dokáže najít takovou, která by ji dovedla ke štěstí… Románový bestseller se stal v roce 2020 vítězem ankety Goodreads Choice Award v kategorii beletrie.
