Book Discussion of "The Immortalists" by Chloe Benjamin

It's 1969 in New York City's Lower East Side, and word has spread of the arrival of a mystical woman, a traveling psychic who claims to be able to tell anyone the day they will die. The Gold children, four adolescents on the cusp of self-awareness, sneak out to hear their fortunes. Their prophecies shape their every decision for the next five decades. Blurring the line between destiny and choice, reality and illusion, this world and the next, The Immortalists is a deeply moving testament to the power of story, the nature of belief, and the unrelenting pull of familial bonds.
