If you knew the date you were going to die, then how would you live your life? asks this bestselling, critically acclaimed novel.
'Once I started reading The Immortalists, I resented every moment I had to spend away from the book until I'd finished' Stylist
'A compelling and utterly absorbing read with virtuoso storytelling on display' Sunday Express
It's 1969, and holed up in a grimy tenement building in New York's Lower East Side is a travelling psychic who claims to be able to tell anyone the date they will die. The four Gold children, too young for what they're about to hear, sneak out to learn their fortunes.
Such prophecies could be dismissed as trickery and nonsense, yet the Golds bury theirs deep. Over the years that follow, they attempt to ignore, embrace, cheat, and defy the 'knowledge' given to them that day - but it will shape the course of their lives forever.
