Tuck Everlasting
Eternal family story
Tuck Everlasting is a 1975 children's novel by Natalie Babbitt about a family who accidentally became immortal after drinking from a magical spring.
The title has become shorthand for eternal life and its complications—the loneliness, the watching others age and die, the question of whether living forever is a blessing or a curse: It sounds appealing until you think about the Tuck Everlasting problem.
