Una mezcla entre El curioso incidente del perro a medianoche y El hombre que cayó a la tierra, esta obra es divertida, enternecedora y escrita de manera seductora. El profesor Andrew Martin, un genio matemático de la Universidad de Cambridge, ha descubierto el secreto de los números primos, lo que podría responder a los misterios del universo y poner fin a la enfermedad y la muerte. Alarmados por esta revelación, los vonadorianos, una civilización más avanzada, envían a un emisario para eliminar a Martin y su descubrimiento. Este vonadoriano, que toma la apariencia de Martin pero se encuentra completamente desnudo, aparece en una carretera y comienza a explorar el campus universitario, sin comprender su entorno. Su misión es asesinar a la esposa, al hijo y al mejor amigo del profesor, pero se siente cautivado por la extraña especie humana, sus costumbres incomprensibles, su búsqueda de conexión y afecto, así como sus secretos y emociones. En esta novela hilarante, el autor se convierte en un observador externo que juzga el comportamiento humano con la frialdad de alguien ajeno a sus matices. Sin embargo, lo que el extraterrestre no sabe es que ser humano es contagioso…

En "La Biblioteca de la Medianoche", Nora Seed se enfrenta a esta decisión. Ante la posibilidad de cambiar su vida por una nueva, siguiendo una carrera diferente, deshaciendo antiguas rupturas y realizando su sueño de convertirse en glacióloga, debe buscar dentro de sí misma mientras viaja a través de la Biblioteca de la Medianoche para decidir qué es verdaderamente satisfactorio en la vida y qué la hace digna de ser vivida.
