What if death were not the end, but simply a limit to overcome?
Vittorio Del Conte is nearly seventy when Costanza, the woman he has loved for more than fifty years, dies.
For the first time in his life, there is no tomorrow to plan with her. No shared future. Only memories, and the unsettling awareness that his own time is running out.
Then, on his way home from the cemetery, Vittorio encounters two mysterious figures who seem to know far more about him than they should.
They make him an impossible offer.
Under very particular circumstances, his aging body can become young again. Not through medicine. Not through technology. And not forever... at least, not yet.
There is only one condition:
He must choose the perfect partner.
What at first appears to be an extraordinary opportunity soon becomes something far more complex. Vittorio is forced to revisit old desires, forgotten possibilities and the women who might have changed the course of his life. But every choice leads him closer to a question much greater than youth, pleasure or even death itself.
What makes a life worth living?
Is immortality still desirable when everything that gave our existence meaning belongs to the past?
And if we were truly given another chance, would we choose differently, or discover that the most important choice had already been made?
Blending speculative fiction, philosophy, desire and an unconventional love story, Would You Like to Live Forever? explores one of humanity's oldest dreams from an unexpectedly intimate perspective.
Youth may be restored.
Time may be challenged.
Perhaps even death can be overcome.
But perhaps love has already discovered eternity.
Would you like to live forever?
