Immortality: Wednesday Books
Autor Dana Schwartzen Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 mai 2024
Hazel Sinnett is alone. She's half-convinced the events of the year before - the immortality, Beecham's vial - were a figment of her imagination. She doesn't even know if Jack is alive or dead. All she can really do is run her free clinic, helping people and maintaining Hawthornden Castle as it starts to decay around her.
When saving a life leads to her arrest, Hazel seems doomed to rot in prison until a message intervenes: Hazel has been specifically requested to be the personal physician of Princess Charlotte, the sickly daughter of King George IV. Soon Hazel is dragged into the glamour and romance of a court where everyone has something to hide, especially the ladies of the princess's close circle, who never seem to stay hurt for long . . .
Meanwhile, Jack Currer has been trying to find a way to die. He's been traveling across the Atlantic, hoarding any information that could cure his immortality and let him spend a normal life with Hazel. When he hears that Beecham has died, he immediately goes to London to find out how he achieved it - and reunites with Hazel once again.
As their search for the immortality cure entangles them more and more with the British court, Hazel and Jack realize that a life together is not the only thing at stake. Malicious forces are at work in the monarchy, and they are very interested in living forever . . .
Praise for Anatomy: A Love Story:
'Irreverent, intelligent, and smart. Dana Schwartz is one of the brightest of the next generation of young writers' Neil Gaiman
'A fast-paced, utterly engrossing tale of mystery, romance, and cadavers' Alwyn Hamilton
'Diabolically delightful. A love story, a murder mystery, and a horror novel bound up together in ghoulish stitches' Maureen Johnson

Recenzii
Hazel Sinnett is alone. The events of the past year - the immortality, Beecham's vial - feel near-imagined. And worse, she doesn't even know if Jack is still alive. All she can really do is run her free clinic in Hawthornden Castle, as it decays around her.
When Hazel finds herself unexpectedly arrested, she seems doomed to jail. Until she's offered an out: a role as personal physician to Princess Charlotte, the king's sickly daughter. Suddenly, Hazel is swept up by the glamour and secrecy of a court where everyone has something to hide.
Meanwhile, Jack Currer has been travelling across the Atlantic, seeking a cure to his immortality so that he can spend a normal life with Hazel. When he hears Beecham has died, he immediately rushes to London to discover how.
As their search for the immortality cure entangles them deeper in the British court, Hazel and Jack realise their love is not the only thing at stake. Malicious forces are at work in the monarchy - forces determined to claim eternal life at any cost. . .
