Long for This World Paperback - 2004
by Michael Byers
This wise and richly symphonic first novel by the award-winning author of "The Coast of Good Intentions" is a thoroughly contemporary family drama that hinges on a riveting medical dilemma.
Summary
A wise and richly symphonic first novel, Long for This World is a thoroughly contemporary family drama that hinges on a riveting medical dilemma. Dr. Henry Moss is a dedicated geneticist who stumbles upon a possible cure for a disease that causes rapid aging and early death in children. Although his discovery may hold the key to eternal youth, exploiting it is an ethical minefield. Henry must make a painful choice: he can save the life of a critically ill boy he has grown to love at the cost of his career or he can sell his findings for a fortune to match the wealth of his dot-com-rich Seattle neighbors. Henry turns to his family for support, and in their intimately detailed lives unfolds a story of unforgettable characters grappling with their own demons.
First line
IT WAS A BIG OLD pleasant high school gym, built in the twenties and not much disturbed by renovation.
