Body Tourists

The gripping, thought-provoking new novel from the Booker-longlisted author of The Testament of Jessie Lamb

Youth is wasted on the young, isn't it?

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 14 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?

The first chapter of Body Tourists will be broadcast on Radio 4 on June 4, 2019, and available online subsequently.
