He Said/She Said ******** What are you doing to help yourself? What
are you doing to show that you're worth the resources? In a
near-future world, medical technology has progressed far enough
that immortality is now within grasp -but only to those who show
themselves to be deserving of it. These people are the lifers: the
exercisers, yogacisers, green juicers and early nighters.
Genetically perfect, healthy and wholesome, one hundred-year-old
Lea is the poster girl for lifers, until the day she catches a
glimpse of her father in the street, eighty-eight years after their
last encounter. While pursuing him, Lea has a brush with death
which sparks suspicions. If Lea could be so careless, is she worthy
of immortality? Suicide Club wasn't always an activist group. It
began as a set of disillusioned lifers, gathering to indulge in
forbidden activities: performances of live music, artery-clogging
meals, irresponsible orgies. But now they have been branded
terrorists and are hunted by the state. And Lea has decided to give
them a call. 'Chilling . . . Through crisscrossing stories about
love and loss, suffused in some wonderful and heartbreaking prose,
she takes the reader on a journey to truly understand the question:
who wants to live forever?' Stylist ******** 'Addictive' Sun
'Gripping' Red 'Clever, bold and makes you think about the value of
life' Good Housekeeping 'The future is here. Let's welcome one of
its stars. Talented and ferociously intelligent, Heng has produced
a glittering debut.' Joanna Briscoe, author of You 'If the styling
is satirical . . . Heng isn't playing for laughs . . . the
fascinating and compelling scenario on show here ultimately forces
you to question nothing less than the meaning of life' Metro
