In this version of London, there is a small, private clinic. Behind its layers of security, procedures are taking place on poor, robust teenagers from northern Estates in exchange for thousands of pounds - procedures that will bring the wealthy dead back to life in these young supple bodies for fourteen days.
It's an opportunity for wrongs to be righted, for fathers to meet grandsons, for scientists to see their work completed. Old wine in new bottles.
But at what cost?

Recenzii
Her observation of our species is tender, precise, illuminating
Unputdownable and often thought-provoking
Grimly plausible . . . Moving
Rogers has never been afraid to expose the dark underside of people's psyches, their shoddy motives and secret compulsions
Gripping and thought-provoking
[A] compulsive and compelling slice of fiction
Body Tourists is very much a novel about human nature. Told through a variety of different perspectives . . . the novel is an insightful examination of the things people truly value
Jane Rogers is a wonderfully versatile novelist
An ambitious and important writer
Rogers' prose flows elegantly and with effortless power
A clever, bold and entertaining novel with serious undercurrents concerning medical ethics, class privilege, deprivation and manipulation
As the trials are marred by unforeseen battles between will and flesh, tantalising moral questions are raised about gender, class, race, mortality and the pursuit of ever smarter, ever more human artificial intelligence.
An extraordinary novel about an ordinary situation - the unravelling of a marriage
Brilliantly done - a sustained exploration of the polarities at the enduring heart of love
A literary dystopia that packs an emotional punch . . . The novel does not set up an elaborate apocalypse, but astringently strips away the smears hiding the apocalypses we really face.
Beautifully constructed and controlled . . . an absorbing, nuanced drama about moral choices and personal responsibility
A voyage of self-discovery that is eloquent, lucid and entirely enthralling
A startling and gripping exploration of love, grief, responsibility and power that moves effortlessly from the personal - the pain of a woman who has recently lost her father - to one of the most hotly debated and emotive issues of the moment, the plight of asylum seekers . . . A wonderfully humane and vividly written story that will keep you entranced until the last page
A triumphant creation . . . the authorial voice has a chameleon quality; she speaks with tongues. And the tongue here is persuasive indeed
Rogers' use of genuine historical detail is brilliant, she knows exactly what to use, and when to stop.
