Jessica Stanley, Author of Consider Yourself Kissed
“Who Wants to Live Forever is dazzling: a cold hard reckoning with reality; a constantly surprising feat of imagination, philosophy, humanity, warmth and love.”
Louise Hare, Author of This Lovely City
“I have devoured this novel. Not just a genius concept, this is a beautifully written book with characters so real that by the end you'll swear you'd really met them. A brilliant debut.”
Lisa Owens, Author of Not Working
“Who Wants To Live Forever is an utterly convincing — and frighteningly plausible — vision of our very-near future. Hanna Thomas Uose spins vivid, compelling human drama from vast philosophical questions with wit, elegance and verve.”
Julianne Pachico, Author of Jungle House
“A wonderfully entertaining and deeply thought-provoking novel that asks serious and substantial questions about how we live now, how we might end up living, and how we actually want to live. I loved all these characters so much - Uose's skilful and sensitive depiction of their conflicts and desires is a triumph. This is a must-read book for 2025, especially for fans of Gabrielle Zevin and Kim Stanley Robinson.”
Ela Lee, Author of Jaded
“Both a timeless romance, and a thought-provoking exploration of the state and future of the world, Who Wants to Live Forever is a bold, inventive novel about the human experience which dares to leave the reader pondering the biggest mystery of all: the meaning of life.”
Aja Barber, Author of Consumed: The Need for Collective Change: Colonialism, Climate Change and Consumerism
“The best book I have read this year.”
Ian Russell-Hsieh, Author of I’m New Here
“Who Wants to Live Forever probes and searches, like the best fiction does, without necessarily providing answers to the questions it asks. What gives a human life value? Does more time on this earth actually equate to more happiness? What even is happiness? This is a novel of love and of ambition, of regrets and of acceptance, written by a writer in possession of a keen insight and a powerful empathy. Highly compelling.”
Fern Brady, Author of Strong Female Character
“I loved it so much I wanted it to go on forever.”
