The Immortalists

I think this book gave an interesting take on where the trajectory of your life would take you if you knew the exact date you were going to die. This story follows four siblings who live in America, who visit a fortune teller in their youth who tells them the day they are going to die. From there the story follows each of the siblings individual lives till they die. I loved that each of the four siblings took very different paths in life and had very different stories to tell. My favourite stories to listen to (audiobook) was Simon and Clara's as they were the most intense and passionate but I also enjoyed listening to Daniel and Varias stories as well. I also loved the host of minor characters in this novel such as Gurdy(the mother), Ruby (Clara's daughter), Robert (Simons BF) and Luke (Varia's son). I think the story posed some interesting thoughts on destiny and mortality and I found I got so much out of the book by listening to it on audiobook. I would recommend this book to most contemporary literature fans.
