If you could find out when you would die would you want to know? All over the world adults receive a box with a length of string inside. The length of string reflects how long your lifespan will be. Most open the box, some do not but everyone is affected in some way. Do you fall in love with someone who has a short string? Do you quit your job to spend the time you have left enjoying life? Do you hurry to have a family? Should we give insurance or benefits to short stringers? We follow a handful of people who are dealing with these questions and more as the world goes topsy-turvy and new bigotries form. Short stringers are harassed,feared and hated as support groups and others band together to show unity. This is the ultimate book club selection as it gives you so much to discuss and think about. It is the kind of book that leaves you worn out with emotion and insight as you are left with this message - whatever the crisis we are all strung together. A powerful debut novel. 4 1/2 stars
