Description
We'll live to 150 in the future - but there's a catch...
Immerse yourself in a near-perfect world a hundred years from now. Climate catastrophe has been averted and the holy grail of medical science has been found: Human life expectancy has doubled.
But this breakthrough comes at a price, a price that only new parents must pay.
Caro faces a dilemma: Is becoming a parent worth dying early? She confides in her mother, but Nina, facing the prospect of outliving her daughter, can't bring herself to support Caro's dream.
Nina sees unsettling echoes of her family's issues in her work with her psychotherapy patients: a suicidal teenager, a childless woman and a world-famous scientist who feels his extended life lacks purpose.
Caro's choice triggers unforeseen consequences that threaten the family's unity. Will it survive?
Despite its thread of dry humour, To Let Live is a serious book dealing with complex issues. Emotionally nuanced, it gives the reader an intriguing insight into what goes on in a therapist's mind during psychotherapy. The book is simply written, plot driven and carefully paced, making it an accessible and engrossing read.
