Krátky popis
'For someone who loves stories about brothers and sisters, as I do,
The Immortalists is about as good as it gets. A memorable and
heartfelt look at what might happen to a family who knows too much.
It's amazing how good this book is' Karen Joy FowlerIt'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.Four siblings, too young for what they are about
to hear, sneak out to hear their fortunes. We then follow the
intertwined paths the siblings take over the course of five decades
and, in particular, how they choose to live with the supposed
knowledge the fortune-teller gave them that day. This is a story
about life, mortality and the choices we make: is it better to live
a long and cautious life, or to burn brightly, but for the shortest
time?
