The Immortalists

From the author of the eagerly anticipated Under Story comes the reading-group classic that asks: if you knew the date of your death, how would you live your life?

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.
