Match BookImmortality: A Love Story
Dana Schwartz
2023 · 389 pages · Historical fiction
How it reads
Immortality: A Love Story is historical fiction (historical fantasy adventure, specifically), and its dominant mood is adventurous. It's driven by momentum, discovery and getting into trouble. It moves fast: plot-driven and hard to put down, the kind of book that carries you along even when you're tired.
It's set in an international setting, in the historical past, told in the first person by a single narrator. Its central concerns are identity, love and power and politics. In weight it's light and escapist — easy to fall into.
It's a later book in a series — you'll usually want to start earlier. The ending resolves happily. At 389 pages it's an ordinary novel's length. It's well known, the kind of book most keen readers have heard of.
