Review:
"I have admired Michael Byers for a long time and for many reasons, not the least of which is his ability to break and heal your heart simultaneously. Long for This World will move you to tears and make you laugh out loud. It win also probably make you think about things that should be thought about: the moral choices in everyday life, the meaning of friendship, love and compassion, the need for connection. Michael Byers is a writer who, despite his young age, is already a master. Perhaps more importantly, he is someone you feel you could trust--not only as a writer, but aa a friend."

Book Description Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - 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. Seller Inventory # 9780618446483
