When Olivia becomes a volunteer at St. John's hospital for NODA (No One Dies Alone), her first patient is Viktor Erikson, an elderly man whose hand she is to hold until, hopefully, a family member arrives. In the last hours of his life, Viktor asks Olivia to read aloud the ancient leather-bound book he carries with him always, The Ethics of Immortality. As Olivia begins reading the story of Viktor and Morgana Erikson-who sail the seas, find adventure, and plan to live together forever-she assumes that it is a fictionalized account of her patient's ancestors. After all, how could the same Viktor be alive in both 1839 and now in 2053? But the deeper Olivia delves into the story, the more she begins to question. Could this be the same Viktor? Is Morgana coming to save him? And did they really discover the water of life?… (mais)

This review was written for LibraryThing Member Giveaways.
Though I appreciate "Fountain of Youth" themed stories, there is a danger that these tales can become cliche'. I was pleasantly surprised with Insensible Loss. I thought the plot was made more interesting with the volunteer who was caring for an ailing older man in a hospital. The man wasn't telling his story, she was reading it to him out of strange book that was on his person upon arriving at the facility. I do not know if the author intended for the reader to dislike Morgana, one of the tale's main characters, but I straight away did not care for her. I know it was different times but I didn't like her desire to try eating dolphin at the early point in the story. Not to spoil, but perhaps I was quite justified in thinking ill of her from the very beginning. I wondered throughout how this book would end and I was surprised and pleased with the way it wrapped up. Thank you to the kindness of the author, who allowed me an early look at this book. I'm apologize the review was delayed. I would highly recommend this book and author. In fact, I already have! ( )

Awesome read! Very intriguing story line that shows you should be careful what you wish for. It shows how one lifetime is more than enough for most people and that some people will never be satisfied, no matter how much they are given or how much they obtain. ( )
