An Immortal Friendship

Cecilia Lidbeck

Jojo gets an assignment. She has to keep Cordelia company. Cordelia is an intelligent and wayward girl who does not have many friends who understand her. The first visit is a trial for Jojo, but she still passes. Good grades are important for those like Jojo, androids who are rented out to demanding clients. Customers who want a human presence, but don’t always treat the androids in a human way. The friendship that develops between Jojo and Cordelia is not artificial, it is real, it is immortal. It saves them both.

An Immortal Friendship is a topical novel whose protagonists and themes linger with the reader. In a world where more and more is artificially constructed, how do we know what is real?

Written about Cecilia Lidbeck’s previous works:

“In Extra Everything, Lidbeck manages to touch upon big questions and everyday situations that are present in a child’s life and the clash between being a kid and being an adult, and the way you adapt your life. The language is effortless and has a drive that engages the reader, which makes this fitting for both readers with a reading habit and beginner readers” BTJ

“A novel with a high speed, much humor, depth, and character that changes appearance and grows in the pace that you read. It’s very nicely done.” Vi läser
