In 1969, the four Gold siblings boldly knock on the door of a fortune teller who claims to be able to tell anyone the day they will die. Despite all efforts to dismiss the predictions, Varya, Daniel, Klara, and Simon are all deeply affected by it, and it deeply affects the rest of their lives. Told from each of the four sibling's perspectives, The Immortalists takes us through decades of hardship and love.This is a novel crafted around a question we all ask ourselves more often than we'd care to admit: Is it more important to truly live or to survive? To dare to dream at our grandest or to play it safe? And, if you knew the exact day on which you would die, would you live your life differently than you would without that knowledge?
