The Immortalists

"If you knew the exact date of your death, how would you live your life? In 1969, four siblings visit a psychic, and it’s either a catalyst for everything that happens next, or it was destiny all along. The youngest moves to San Francisco to find love. He lives an expansive life and dies young at the dawn of the AIDS crisis. The oldest becomes a scientist obsessed with researching longevity. She lives a long time, cautious and alone. This book might not surprise you, but it does raise a lot of questions: Is what happens to the siblings a self-fulfilling prophecy or predetermined? Is knowledge freeing or limiting? If you knew your fate, would you pursue your wildest dreams? Would you want to know?"
