What would it really mean to live forever? Rachel is a woman with a problem: she can’t die. Her recent troubles are only the latest in a litany spanning dozens of countries, scores of marriages, and hundreds of children. However, now in the twenty-first century her offspring being consumed with immortality in their own ways develop new technologies that could change her fate and theirs . . .
Gripping, hilarious, and profoundly moving, Eternal Life is a philosophical novel that celebrates the bonds between generations, the power of faith, the purpose of death, and the reasons for being alive.
"The question at the heart of this wise and appealing novel is finally not how Rachel finds meaning in her eternal life. It is how we, despite our portions of sorrow, tedium and disaster, persist in finding meaning in ours." -- New York Times Book Review
