![]() ![]() ![]() Leila has convinced herself that this is a noble cause.Įverything depends, of course, on the naïve, overweight, socially immature Leila, a girl carefully selected by the moderator of (a reference to a popular movie, wink, wink), Adrian Dervish, who culls her from the other pseudo-intellectuals who philosophize on the site, inviting Leila to join a special subscription group. Regardless of the obvious flaws in such a plan, Leila, an autodidact whose mother recently died of MS, has been convinced of her right to aid a stranger in a quest to end her life, in spite of the law against abetting a suicide. Tapping into the contemporary lifestyles of the Facebook generation, Moggach constructs a novel of a lonely girl’s seduction by a savvy man, her complete immersion in the life of an online acquaintance who wishes to commit suicide without erasing her online presence, thereby alleviating the pain for family and friends.
