On a
hot summer day in 1969, the four Gold children, Varya, Daniel, Klara,
and Simon, sneak out of their NYC apartment to have their fortunes
told. But this isn't just any fortune teller, this woman claims she
knows the day they will each die. The story follows each of the
children through specific moments in their lives, their search to
hide from their dates, to prove they matter in the world. If you knew
when you were going to die, would you live your life differently?
The
Immortalists
is a beautiful and moving magical realism tale that shows how
familial bonds can never really be broken. The story is elegantly
written and so true to each character that I could feel them in their
joys and pains.
