'Who Wants To Live Forever' by Hanna Thomas Uose

from The Radio 2 Book Club · host BBC Radio 2

This week’s book choice is a time-bending romance novel, which is bold and inventive and brilliant to read. If you were a fan of previous Book Club choices ‘Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow ‘ or ‘The Ministry Of Time’ – then we think you’ll love this too. It's called 'Who Wants To Live Forever' - and is the debut novel by Hana Thomas Uose. Sara chats about Hanna's inspirations, whether she WOULD like to live forever, and why a California writing retreat wasn't all it was cracked up to be! We also get some brilliant book recommendations too. Here's a little more about Hanna's novel:This is the greatest romance you will ever read without the happily ever after.Yuki and Sam are soulmates. They are destined to spend the rest of their lives together. They are supposed to love one another, forever.But when a miracle drug is released which can extend a human's life indefinitely, Sam chooses to live forever, instead of loving Yuki forever - and the world they know is spun inside out.WHO WANTS TO LIVE FOREVER plunges into a parallel universe where forever is on sale to the highest bidder. What comes next is a world-building epic narrated by an intersecting cast of characters that will drive you to the edge of reality and leave you to answer biggest questions of all: What is life without death? What is life without love?
