I have been in love with Horns work since her first gorgeous novel,Riveting, startling, hilarious, and sadIve never read anything like it.As a philosophical novel,The chilling pathos of Dara HornsA mature, wry, uniquely female take on the problem of immortality.Passionate, playful, and poignant.To an extent, its the humor (and horror) of infinite diaper changes that drives this masterful page-turner. However,An elegant musing on sacredness, history and purpose that is, at the same time, a deliciously romantic, highly suspenseful page-turner.Rachel speaks with the wisdom of the ancients when she observes that immortality offers no consolation for the death of others. Not dying doesnt make it better, she says of all that sorrow. It only makes it take longer.Horn does not hedge her bets, whipping up a Jewish telenovela of ancient-world drama and present-day complications. Itll put you off immortality for good.A
