Why read it?
1 author picked Finding Meaning in the Age of Immortality as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Definitely the best book I've read in a long time. The author takes a simple sci-fi premise--the discovery of a serum that enables people to live forever if they can afford the hefty price tag--and spins it into a multifaceted story about family, dreams, loss, economic inequality, and more. The brilliant structure--which switches back and forth among various members of two families, one rich and one poor--wowed me. This book is a debut, but it reads like the work of someone who's been writing novels for twenty years. Can't wait to see what she comes up with next!
