BLURB: In the spirit of Station Eleven and The Age of Miracles,
this exciting literary debut novel imagines the consequences when four
ordinary individuals are granted a chance to continue their lives in
genetically perfect versions of their former bodies.
Would you
live your life differently if you were given a second chance? Hannah,
David, Connie, and Linda—four terminally ill patients—have been selected
for the SUBlife pilot program, which will grant them brand-new,
genetically perfect bodies that are exact copies of their former
selves—without a single imperfection. Blemishes, scars, freckles, and
wrinkles have all disappeared, their fingerprints are different, their
vision is impeccable, and most importantly, their illnesses have been
cured.
But the fresh start they’ve been given is anything but
perfect. Without their old bodies, their new physical identities have
been lost. Hannah, an artistic prodigy, has to relearn how to hold a
brush; David, a Congressman, grapples with his old habits; Connie, an
actress whose stunning looks are restored after a protracted illness,
tries to navigate an industry obsessed with physical beauty; and Linda,
who spent eight years paralyzed after a car accident, now struggles to
reconnect with a family that seems to have built a new life without her.
As each tries to re-enter their previous lives and relationships they
are faced with the question: how much of your identity rests not just in
your mind, but in your heart, your body?
