Title: The Night of Many Endings
Author: Melissa Payne
Lovely, and sometimes heartfelt, story about what happens when a surprise snowstorm hits and a small library in Colorado becomes the refuge for five more or less strangers. As the story unfolds we find that Nora, Marlene, Vlado, Lewis and Jasmine have more in common than any of them could imagine. A story full of hope and courage.
Nora is the local librarian and do-gooder trying to help everyone, be it by recommending books or providing food packages or a blanket to those in need. Along the way she’s forgotten to help herself and live her own life.
Marlene is lost since her late-in-life found soulmate passed away, leaving her bitter and suicidal..
Vlado is working as a security guard at the library, but dreaming of pursing his Ph.D. in English.
Lewis is feeling lost and regretful, but hoping to become clean and reconnect with his granddaughter.
Jasmine lives with her grandmother and is trying to be a good role model to her younger sister whilst struggling with finding her own identity.
I loved this line in the book: “libraries were one of the last places someone could go where they didn’t have to buy or believe in anything to come in”
